 Before you include a textures file you need to have the
file colors.inc included. So the top of you you pov file
should look like this:

#include "colors.inc"
#include "textures.inc" or "stoneold.inc" or "whatever.inc"

If you don't #declare "colors.inc" first then pov doesn't know what
the color names are supposed to represent.
