This isn't too hard.
Frustrating that it doesn't work out of the box tho :)   A quick look into the 
install file yields the answer: script is pointing to the wrong paths...

I have supplied a patch which works for me on ubuntu 9.04 with povray package 
installed(3.6.1) trying to install megapov-1.2.1
It simply modifies the expected install paths, and changes the shell to 
bash(because in my installation, /bin/sh is dash, and it doesn't handle read -n)

Instructions: simply download the megapov "linux installer", patch it, and run 
the install.
ie.

tar xf megapov-1.2.1-linux.tar.bz2
cd megapov-1.2.1
patch < ../ubuntu9.04_megapov_install_patch_fixed.diff
sudo ./install

** Patch added: "patch for the megapov installer."
