The path used for #include in *nix is specified with the -I parameter for
the 'make' command or is specified in the Makefile.
"man make" will tell you what you need to know.
Do you often build software on Linux? If you don't, you might want to
start with a tutorial on how to build software in general before diving
in to build POVray.

Seems to be typical for libraries. I have yet to see any that comes with
an easy-to-use build system. Or at least some /standardized/ one, for
that matter. The tendency there seems to be to try make life for the lib
developers as easy as possible by using some home-brewn build system
custom-tailored to their needs, but at the same time making life
annoyingly difficult for application developers (or end users), forcing
them to dig through all those different build systems of the libraries
the app is using.
Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating here. Never mind...

I only could successfully install libboost-dev - libboost does not exist
on the repositories for my distro (which is Debian aptosid, kernel 2.6.9).
<yaz### [at] gmx de>", firstly all went fine... until configure complained:
configure: error: cannot find a suitable ZLIB library
What went wrong now? Or should I better first compile and install the
whole boost v1.47 package from www.boost.org?
See you in Khyberspace!

And where do I find such a tutorial (no, I don't believe in Google being
my friend!)?

I'm about to give up... and remorsefully crawling back into
Micro$lavery! Obviously, it is IMPOSSIBLE for an average DAU (to the
non-German speakers: Most Stupid User To Assume!) to build any software
under Linux!

Google can tell you.
I could search for you, but you can search as easily as I can. It's not
a good use of my time to do searches for people that they can do for
themselves. :)
Try a search with words like "Linux compile tutorial". That should get
you started.

No, it's not impossible, but it does require being willing to do your
homework.
For example, the question you asked about which version of Boost was
needed was answered in the INSTALL file I linked you to. Which file,
IIRC, is included in the source you downloaded.

It's unrelated to boost.
You need a zlib library (oh, what, it's in the error message! ), the
-dev version of course.
something like zlib1g-dev on Ubuntu...
You can propably expect to also need the pictures' formats library also
in -dev version... start looking for :
libpng12-dev
libtiff4-dev
libjpeg62-dev
libopenexr-dev
... and so on (number and package name might vary with your distribution)

Does not exist for my distro (Debian aptosid)! Should I instead just try
apt-get install zlib* ?

I mistook a "1" for an "l"... after correct that, configure went
flawless, but at the end of the "make check" process, I got a huge mass
of cryptic error messages, so "make install" did not work either.
No, I give up... or wait until I either can afford a second computer
running under Windows or the final release of 3.7 is published and
finally available as a Debian standard package! Too bad, no really good
looking indoor radiosity until at least next summer...
See you in Khyberspace!
