Try opening the .gif file in a normal image viewing program. If your
image viewing program can open it then POV-Ray should be able to use
it. I do not recall ever having that problem with a .gif file before
and I have used many of them for HF's in the past.

Also check that the gif is not interlaced.

if you're using megapov, i think gif support was taken out due to legal
issues.  use png instead.
