The directory /usr/local/share/doc does not exist on my machine.

I don't find anything about where files were installed when I look at
Synaptic, just that the package is installed.
If I simply run povray I get this message:
rsteff at 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.
Thanks for your input.
