You can e-mail me that file and, if there are, all the necessary include
files to render it.
Please send the unmodified file.
Then I will examine why it doesn't render on MegaPOV.

'environment' is a reserved keyword in MegaPOV. It is used for the
mechsim patch.
This patch doesn't exist in the official POV-Ray version and that is the
only reason why POV-Ray for Windows is rendering it.
You will see that WinMegaPOV will not render it either.

So, this is actually an error in Eagle 3D, they should use 'Environment'
instead, starting the word with an uppercase character.

User defined variables and/or declares should never start with a lower
case character!

Thanks. I've forwarded your reply to the author of Eagle 3D. Hopefully 
he'll fix it soon.
