Yep, hen & egg problem... make check works... if you already installed
it before the check. (so nobody sees the problem, because everyone
(i.e. dev & tester) already have povray installed).
Actually, you need to install at least the data, not the program.
("sudo make install-data" might install that part)

I usually test a binary just with ./unix/povray --benchmark
(as the benchmark should be autonomous, IIRC, without any file operation
s)

g++ 4.2 ??? isn't it a bit old ? (just a surprise)

Do you really need to play with sysconfigdir and PREFIX ?
Could it be that the root(Prefix) does not exist or is not writable ?


default (on linux, no mac experience here) is /usr/local, which is
good enough usually.
