Thorsten, did you even read what Slime wrote?

He said that if a matrix transformation is applied *after* the look_at
vector, the error message says that it might help to make the look_at
the last statement. This error message does not make sense with the
POV-Ray 3.5 camera.

Minimal test scene that produces the error:

camera {
   location 0
   look_at z
   matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0>
}

// insert 25 speres to turn on vista buffer
#declare C = 0;
#while (C<25)
   sphere {z,0.1 pigment {rgb 1}}
   #declare C = C+1;
#end
