I am new to Linux and I am having trouble getting POV to work.  I have
done the following as per the linux.readme

1) Put INI (including povray.ini), scene, and include files in
/usr/local/lib/povray3
2) Put x-povray and s-povray in /usr/local/bin
3) Put povray.1 in usr/local/man/man1
4) Put everything else (including example directories) in
/usr/local/povray3
5) povray.ini to have:
Library_Path=/usr/local/lib/povray3
Library_Path=/usr/local/lib/povray3/include
Library_Path=/usr/local/povray3
Library_Path=/usr/local/bin

6) Before running typed "set POVINI=/usr/local/lib/povray3/povray.ini"

When I go to "/usr/local/povray3/pov3demo/demo" and type "x-povray
shapes.pov" I get:

[root@noname demo]# x-povray shapes.pov
Persistence of Vision(tm) Ray Tracer Version 3.02.Linux.gcc

INI file error.
Bad option syntax or error opening .INI/.DEF file 'Persistence'.

This happens for all files that I try to run.
Thanks for any info,
Lou
