Which version of POV-Ray are you installing? The following commands will
work for POV-Ray 3.1e, assuming you're starting in the directory in
which you uncompressed povlinux.tgz:

mv -r povray31 /usr/local/lib
cd /usr/local/lib/povray31
mv x-povray /usr/local/bin
mv s-povray /usr/local/bin
mv povray.1 /usr/local/man/man1

For POV-Ray 3.02, the first two lines should instead be:

mv -r povray3 /usr/local/lib
cd /usr/local/lib/povray3

Assuming /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/bin, and /usr/local/man/man1 have
the permissions one normally sees under RH5.2, you'll have to be root to
move these.
