Yes. The executable povray should work now. The makefile can in fact create
three different versions of povray: plain ascii interface, X, and SVGA.
By selecting "newunix" you tell make that you want to create a new, 
different version. If you simply type "make" instead, it shouldn't compile
anything anymore.

As I said in the beginning, "povray" should work now. In my opinion, it
is a good thing to create the X version, too. Simply try "make newxwin".
Perhaps you may have o adjust the location of the X include files and
libraries in the makefile. By calling "x-povray" with the option "-d" 
you should see the image while it's rendered (under the assumption that 
you have an X server running). Furthermore, you can get an "mosaic preview"
with the option "+sp4".
