An error? That could be a lot of things. What is the output if you run this: ls -ld /usr/local/share/doc/povray-3.6/html Do you see this message: ls: cannot access html: No such file or directory Or does something else happen? Either the folder does not exist, or you don't have permissions to it. A folder must have the execute bit set in order to enter it. The permissions problem could be in a higher-level folder, like /usr/local/share/doc/povray-3.6, /usr/local/share/doc, etc. Any folder you cannot enter will hose all others under it. Isn't there an apt command you can use to list the files in a package? Someone else will have to jump in here. Or synaptic will let you click your way to it.
