I tried to use the povray version from the repos a few ubuntu versions 
ago.  While it did /work/, it was a bit problematic and the preview 
display while the work was rendering simply filled with '.' if I 
remember correctly.

If you d/l the source code and compile it, things seem to work much 
better.  Plus, a simple 'make uninstall' will always clean things up if 
something still doesn't work for you.
