If I simply run povray I get this message: rst...@moonguide:~$ povray povray: cannot open the user configuration file /home/rsteff/.povray/3.6/povray.conf: No such file or directory (followed by a lot of other stuff) Running povray -? returns the same output. I assume that some configuration is needed, but I don't know where to look to find out how to do it.
