If POV-Ray tells you this the OS is not able to provide POV-Ray more 
memory.  I'd try to reduce the scene as much as required to make the 
scene render and see what amount of memory is reported in the Render 
statistics.  If that's more than you have as physical memory it would be 
wise to forget about rendering the scene, if not your OS is probably 
broken or misconfigured.
