Which is odd.

The correct way would be that the installation script does not touch
anyone's home directory and install's things needed under /usr/local/...


A user then might create a local diretory in the home directory, or even
the binary might create the directory structure when run, and file to be
read might be searched in the order $HOME , /usr/local, which is state
of the art.

However, povray is broken in this aspect and should really be fixed.

And maybe reconsider whether it is really necessary to still support the
Amiga, but not properly support Linux.
