I am trying to install POV Ray on my linux system.  If I try to install it
through  an RPM, then I receive an error that says "Package not found
libpng.so.0".  I also tried to install using the source files but after I
ran ./install and navigated to the newly copied folder in
/usr/local/share/povray-3.5 I can't run ./configure in the folder as the
instructions said.  What am I missing?  If this is a RTFM moment then tell
me where in the manual I need to go and I'll do it.

Maybe you don't have PNG-Support installed. Search for a RPM called 
libpng*.rpm on the RedHat CDs. Install it an try again to install 
POV-Ray. Or maybe libpng is not called "libpng.so.0". Then a symbolic 
link (ln -s) could help you.

This is what I would try,
