In this case the error message is quite useful. You must enclose the
"textures[i]" variable in your mesh2 with a texture block, like

texture { textures[i] }

The error message says that POV needs the variable "textures[i]" to be a
texture (eg texture { MyTextureIdentifier }), but textures[i] is just a
label/name for a texture, like MyTexture here:

#declare MyTexture = texture { ... }

If I then do

sphere {
  <0,0,0>, 1
  MyTexture
}

POV will fail with a similar sort of error. Putting MyTexture in a texture
block will fix it. The same solution applies to your code.
