The message clearly tells you the file "colors.inc" cannot be found because
you didn't specify the include files folder.  If you check the
documentation, you will find that "colors.inc" is a standard include file.
So you have to add its folder to those folders where POV-Ray looks for
include files.

That POVMSLib isn't an extension and you should stay away from it. Leave it
where you found it!  Do not move it into the system folder!  It has
absolutely nothing to do with the problem!  The message does not say to
start moving some private POV-Ray files like POVMSLib around - doing so will
only cause a mess and is likely to damage your install!!!
