Here's an example using the #version work around:

#version 3.1;

camera {
  location -20*z
  look_at 0
  angle 20
  orthographic
}

#version 3.5;

It should work exactly as it did in POV-Ray 3.1.

If you don't want to do this, please re-read section 6.4.2.2 of the
manual, specifically this paragraph:

Hope this helps.
