This is the POV-Ray 3.5 for x86 GNU/Linux package.

This is a fairly traditional povlinux.tgz, but with HTML docs in the 
package.  The binary itself (just one, supports both X and SVGAlib, 
uses whichever makes most sense) is statically linked so as to avoid 
dependency issues (since you can't currently build against your own
installed libraries).  It's built on Red Hat 8.0, in case it matters.

The package is a gzipped tarball.  Linux users (with GNU tar, one can 
assume) can uncompress it with tar xvfz povlinux.tgz, then cd povray35 
and run ./install as root.  This moves the contents of the directory, so
if you cd .. you won't find the directory where it used to be.  Don't be
too badly surprised at this.

The binary in povlinux.tgz includes statically linked libraries that are
released under the LGPL.  In order to comply with the terms for static linking
against LGPL libraries, I'm providing the povobj.tar.gz file which contains
the objects which were linked into the static binary.   The file exists only
for purposes of compliance with the license terms, and it's only there for the 
benefit of those who want to try relinking it.
