The script jr uses is good. (Thanks jr).

I'll quickly add for others who might see this thread, for a more 
permanent install you should not use the /tmp directory as I did in 
examples - for safety reasons. That directory is generally deleted by 
most unix/linux operating systems during the shutdown/reboot process.

Rather, create a directory somewhere under your $HOME directory where 
you do (aim) your 'make install's. For example, once, in your home 
directory execute the command:

mkdir yuqkBuilds

Then when you run the configuration command use:_a5c25dda

./configure -q COMPILED_BY=... --prefix=$HOME/yuqkBuilds/yuqk_a5c25dda

Later when you do 'make install' all the files will be copied for you 
into that --prefix specified directory. Most important for your issue, 
the 'povray' executable looks to the expected / configured install 
location  for that 'install-level' configuration file.

Lastly, it's very likely in using the yuqk fork, you will have multiple 
versions installed so a wrapper script like 'yuqk' is the way the 
'povray' executable is expected to be run / called.

All that said - there are many alternate methods to set things up. :-)
