I did some research on my computer about the povray 3.7 binary and remembering
your message I get a result (in the Terminal) that doesn't match what you said
:-( ...

Here's the Terminal and the output of some command (I use Ubuntu 16.xx as Linux
only)

antoine@antoine-pcmapex:/usr/local/bin$ ls -lArth
total 9,6M
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3,2M juin  25  2016 povray


-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2,7M avril 29  2017 geomorph
antoine@antoine-pcmapex:/usr/local/bin$ which povray

antoine@antoine-pcmapex:/usr/local/bin$ which ls
/bin/ls

antoine@antoine-pcmapex:/usr/local$ ls
bin  Brother  etc  games  include  lib  man  sbin  share  src

antoine@antoine-pcmapex:/usr/local/share/povray-3.7$ ls
icons  include  ini  scenes  scripts
antoine@antoine-pcmapex:/usr/local/share/povray-3.7$
--------------------end

As you can see there's a povray (3.7) binary in '/usr/local/bin/' and that
doesn't look to be a link file (the weight is about 3.2 Mo). I do have a
'povray-3.7/' directory in '/usr/local/share/' but there's no any binary file in
it.

The following input command in a Terminal show:
------------------------------------------------------------
antoine@antoine-pcmapex:/usr/local/bin$ ./povray --version

This is the binary I have compiled some time ago (Antoine FAURE)

I don't seem to have the custom directory for the different versions of POVRay
you're talking about...

And doing some search with : 'sudo find / -name "povray" -type f' only displayed
 the '/usr/local/bin' file
