Which makes me guess - like Jim - that the problem resides within the 
TextLabel.inc file itself. Gharryh, I suppose you include this file into 
your main scene? In any case, examine the code around line 23 in the 
include file. Big chance that the missing } is found there. If not, 
experiment by adding  } successively at the end of each material block 
and render, starting with the end of the file and gradually shift it 
higher if the render works well. As soon as the render fails, you have 
found the area to examine closely. I often do it that way when in 
serious doubt.

Succes!

Solved the problem by removing all the old textures from the origional file and
creating a new one and that solved the problem. This is the content of that
file:
[code]
//    POV-Ray version 3.7 Include File
//    File: MyMaterials.inc
//    Last updated: June 2013
//    Description: This file contains my material defenitions.

#ifndef(MyMaterials_Temp)

#declare MyMaterials_Temp = version;
#version 3.5;

#ifndef(__colors_inc)
#include "colors.inc"
#end

#declare MyRedLed = material {
    texture {
        pigment {Red filter .6}
        finish {
            specular .7
            roughness .02
        }
    }
    interior{ior 1.5}
}

#declare MyGreenLed = material {
    texture {
        pigment {Green filter .6}
        finish {
            specular .7
            roughness .02
        }
    }
    interior{ior 1.5}
}

#declare MyAcrylic = material {
    texture {
        pigment {Green filter .9}
        finish {
            specular 1
            roughness .005
            reflection .1
            ambient 0
            diffuse 0
        }
    }
    interior{ior 1.4}
}

#declare MyRedClearPlastic = material {
    texture {
        pigment {Red filter .8}
        finish {
            specular 1
            roughness .001
            reflection .1
        }
    }
    interior{ior 1.4}
}

#declare MyGreenClearPlastic = material {
    texture {
        pigment {Green filter .8}
        finish {
            specular 1
            roughness .001
            reflection .1
        }
    }
    interior{ior 1.4}
}
#version MyMaterials_Temp
#end
[/code]
