It might. Which version of povray 3.7 did you get ?
(or where did you get it from ?)

The 3.7-stable is one year old, and it worked at that time. But in the
meantime, they changed automake and its default (someone never heard
about backward compatibility, on the same line as someone at boost never
heard of it either some years ago).

The master branch have that part fixed (and more).
