i use Debian Linux2.2 (potato) and i would like to use XEmacs for editing my
pov-files. so i downloaded the lisp-file that was mentioned on this ng from
http://www.acc.umu.se/~woormie/povray.
i followed the installation instructions but XEmacs does not notice any
change. is there something special about Debian or what did i wrong? i read
something about a *new* package-system in /usr/doc/XEmacs but i understood
nothing at all (i don't know nothing about internals of Emacs and lisp). so
here's what i did:
i found a file, named pov-mode2.el, copied it at first into
/usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp (which is definitely in my load-path) ->
nothing happens (M-x pov[TAB] found nothing, in my customization-menu is
nothing about the new language). i byte-compiled it with M-x
byte-compile-file (sucessfull!) but Emacs (even after restarting) still
doesn't recognize this.
i copied the pove-mode2.elc in some other directorys in my load-path, but
guess..!

Emacs' docu tells a lot about installing new *packages* (with auto-load, i
didn't understood it..), but nothing about how to install a single *.elc.
anybody out there, who can help an Emacs-dummy? Thx!

I have this in the .emacs file in my home directory, you can change
the relevant bits like the name of the package and the location of 
the package to match your own instalation.

What happens if you open a .pov file?

$ emacs myfile.pov &

You should see the syntax highlighting etc. 

You've got a later version of pov-mode.el than myself, I hope it's
easier to turn off all the indentation than in the version I'm 
using.  Maybe I'll go and have a look. 

The stuff that's in my .emacs file:

(setq load-path (cons "/usr/share/emacs/20.5/lisp/pov-mode.elc" load-path))
(autoload 'pov-mode "pov-mode.elc" "PoVray scene file mode" t)

(setq auto-mode-alist
        (append '(("\\.pov$" . pov-mode) 
                  ("\\.inc$" . pov-mode)
                 ) auto-mode-alist))

(custom-set-faces
 '(region ((((class color) (background dark)) (:foreground
"MidnightBlue" :background "light goldenrod")))))

(add-hook 'pov-mode-hook 'turn-on-font-lock)

And you'll no doubt want to try my rxvt menu system that facilitates
the rendering side of the job, on my web page in the linux stuff
section, there's a screen shot there too that you can have a look at.

It _should_ be enough with the (require 'pov-mode) in your .emacs, if
it's not
I'll have to take a look at that, and hopefully fix it.
