Dear Sir,

I have compiled povray-3.7.0beta25b on gcc-4.3.1 Linux debian sarge kernel
2.6.14.3-grsec.

../configure COMPILED_BY="Mirsad Todorovac <mto### [at] grfhr>"
--prefix=/home/osob/mtodorov/local --with-boost=/home/osob/mtodorov/local

mtodorov@magrf:~/povray-3.7.0.beta.25b$ which povray
/home/osob/mtodorov/local/bin/povray

However, there is an error in configuration file lookup. It doesn't look into
$PREFIX/etc/povray/3.7/povray.conf, but under /usr/local, as if there was no
--prefix=/home/osob/mtodorov/local

mtodorov@magrf:~/povray-3.7.0.beta.25b$ povray
povray: cannot open the system configuration file
/usr/local/etc/povray/3.7/povray.conf: No such file or directory
No input file provided
mtodorov@magrf:~/povray-3.7.0.beta.25b$

I hope this bug report will help you solve the error.

Marvin

	This problem has been reported and fixed some time ago already
for the the next beta.

	Thanks,
