I had the same problem on my Powerbook G4, sent in a bug report, and 
then remembered that this place existed and went to look - deleting the 
preferences resolved the issue for me; thanks!

I have the same problem on my G4s. All run 10.2.4, and all crash with the
same error.
However, MacMegaPov 1.0 runs without problems. Besides, the 3.5.1 release
has expired.

Your problem is caused by preferences which select the wrong POV-Ray Render
Engine (they need to specify the G4 engine), which is not supported by this
beta.  This only happens if you had a previous version of POV-Ray 3.5
installed.  Just delete the POV-Ray 3.5 Preferences and POV-Ray will work.

Thanks, that fixes this problem indeed. The version 3.5.1 has expired,
though,
so I don't get much further with it.
