Hello. I have installed pov-mode for emacs. I have correctly adjusted my
..emacs file so it knows to load the lisp file when I try to open a *.pov or
*.inc file.
It does this, but then.. :

(emacs test.pov)
Loading tool-bar...done
Loading image...done
Loading tooltip...done
Loading regexp-opt...done
For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type C-h C-p.
test.pov has auto save data; consider M-x recover-file
Loading pov-mode.el (source)...
Loading cus-edit...
Loading easymenu...done
Loading cus-edit...done

("/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/progmodes/" . "/usr/share/emacs/21.3/etc/")

"/usr/share/emacs/21.3/etc/"

File mode specification error: (wrong-type-argument listp
"/usr/share/emacs/21.3/etc/")



...it does this.
"File mode specification error".. Never have I specified the directory in
question anywhere (and neither is it specified in pov-mode.el)
My guess was that the directory needs to be writable so emacs can store
temporary images in it when rendering. Solving that didn't solve this
however.. can anybody help me out?
Thank you!

Maarten

To get a debug trace, try:
	M-x set-variable [ENTER] debug-on-error [ENTER] t [ENTER]

... before you load a .pov file.  That will give you a backtrace of the 
call stack.

It *looks* like your load-path is messed up somehow, but that's a guess.
