You have to remember POV is case-sensitive...
Use Yellow and White instead of yellow and white.
(Notice that the error message complained about the _identifier_ 'yellow'.)

Another bit of advice -- try to use indenting to show the structure of your script. 
It makes 
things much easier to follow.  Extra blank lines help too:

#include "shapes.inc"
#include "colors.inc"

camera {
     location<0,2,-3>
     look_at<0,1,2>
}

sphere {
     <0,1,2>,2
     texture {
         pigment {color Yellow}
     }
}

light_source {<2,4,-3>  color White}
