I am taking reference of simple example which uses 'shapes3.inc'.
But when I compile my file I got error as


File Context (5 lines):
#include "colors.inc"
#include "shapes3.inc"
Parse Error: Cannot open include file shapes3.inc.
File: particale.pov  Line: 2
Parse Warning: Check that the file is in a directory specifed with a +L switch
 or 'Library_Path=' .INI item. Standard include files are in the include
 directory or folder. Please read your documentation carefully.


I know I have to edit .ini file but how to solve it?

What system are you on ?

If unix/linux, did the system adminstrator ran "make install" so that
the include files get installed in /usr/local/share/povray-3.7/include ?

If windows, I do not know.

If colors.inc is defined, probably the shapes3.inc file isn't present anywhere.
What povray version? If RC, shapes3.inc isn't present in a set.

I just checked my "include" folders for version 3.6 and 3.7, and it 
turns out that "shapes3.inc" is found in version 3.7 but not in 3.6.  Is 
it possible that you've opened a version 3.7 scene file with POV-Ray 3.6?
