1.3.1 Available distributions
  There are two official distributions of POV-Ray for Unix available: 
  
 
 - 
   Source package: this package contains all the source files and Makefiles required for building POV-Ray. 
  Building the program from source should work on most Unix systems. The package uses a configuration mechanism to 
  detect the adequate settings in order to build POV-Ray on your own platform. All required support libraries are 
  included in the package. See the INSTALL file of the source package for details. 
 
- 
   Linux binary package: this package contains a compiled version of POV-Ray for x86-compatible platforms 
  running the GNU/Linux operating system. A shell script for easy installation is also included. Further details are 
  given in the README file of this package. 
 
  Both distributions are available for download at the POV-Ray website 
 and on the POV-Ray FTP server (ftp.povray.org).
