I bet you types the command-line "povray first.pov" or something like
that.  Well, don't.  You have to type "povray -i first.pov", so that
POV-Ray knows first.pov is a POV scene file and not a parameters file.
I suggest you have a look at "man povray", to know the basic switches
to use when you invoke POV.
