sudo mkdir /opt/megapov sudo chown $USER:$USER /opt/megapov wget http://megapov.inetart.net/packages/unix/megapov-1.2.1.tgz tar xvf megapov-1.2.1.tgz cd megapov-1.2.1/ ./configure --prefix=/opt/megapov COMPILED_BY="me@here" make make install cp /usr/share/povray/include/* /opt/megapov/share/megapov-1.2.1/include/
I chose make install instead of checkinstall since it was easier -- otherwise the ~/.megapov/1.2.1/povray.ini and povray.conf files weren't properly created (it wanted to put them in root).
