I have installed POV-Ray on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS box by following fossfreedom's post.

It worked fine the first time when I ran the command

~$ povray +Ipovpawn.pov

but now I get 

  0:00:00 Parsing
Possible Scene File Parser Initialization Error: Could not find file
'povpawn.pov'
Scene File Parser Initialization Error: Cannot open input file.
Total Scene Processing Times
  Parse Time:    0 hours  0 minutes  0 seconds (0 seconds)
  Photon Time:   0 hours  0 minutes  0 seconds (0 seconds)
  Render Time:   0 hours  0 minutes  0 seconds (0 seconds)
  Total Time:    0 hours  0 minutes  0 seconds (0 seconds)

I tried moving pawn.pov file from /home/me/povray-3.6.1 to /usr/local/share/povray-3.6 and got 

access denied check povray.conf

If the file is called pawn.pov as you say later in the question, then the command you want is

povray +Ipawn.pov

The command you said in the question has a "pov" too many.
