When I try to render a Poser2POV cenverted scene in MegaPov I get this error
message: "Mesh normal index out of range."
Where's the problem?

  Isn't the error message clear enough?

And what can I do to correct it?

  Ask the author of Poser2POV to fix his program?

I had to slog my way through this same problem a short while ago. I not
sure of the cause but I suspect it may have to do with whether or not
the origional model was supplied with normals. (In my case I had a
Hammapatch model that I wanted to UV map.)

My solution was to run the model through Crossroads 3D and have the
normals calculated there before going on. 

I don't know though if this solution is applicable to you or not. Good
luck.

I am using a hamapatch model too, but Crossroads 3D doesn't helps.

I'm already waiting for the answere.

Did you try applying smooth normals in Crossroads 3D (you'll need to
_Select All_ and then choose _Smooth_ from the menu after right-clicking
on the model window).

Try another converter, such as 3DWin (http://www.stmuc.com/thbaier/) or
Poseray (http://people.tamu.edu/~sfg2113/poserayhelp.htm)
