Strange. I have just tried this in my set-up and it works just fine
(note: I am using Suse 12.3).
Have you got a '~/.povray/3.7/povray.ini'? Or, failing this a
'/usr/local/etc/povray/3.7/povray.ini'? Though without one of these
'povray scene.pov' will fail.
One possibility occurs to me: Is there an extra blank space in your file
name?
