You have to type "make newsvga" or "make newunix" to configure the 
include files for something besides x-povray.

Assuming we're still talking about the superpatch, it works for me.
Try this code:

---------- cut here ------>8===========
camera {location -5*z look_at 0}
light_source { -5*z rgb 1.5}
              
              
#declare myspl=spline{
  cubic_spline
  0, <0,0,0>
  .2,<1,0,0>
  .8,<2,1,0>
  1,<3,1,0>
  }
  
#declare i=0;
#while (i<1)
  sphere {myspl(i), .1 pigment {color rgb 1}}
  #declare i=i+.1;
#end               
---------- cut here ------>8===========

AHA, it work now... must've been a spelling mistake or something, thank you :)
