Yup like Ron says I get that if I miss the -i as shown below:

[sjlen:pov]$ x-povray letters.pov

INI file error.
'=' or '#' must be preceded by a keyword.[sjlen:pov]$ 

################   End of example  #####################################

Say you've got a pov file called letters.pov and you want to render it
at 800x600 with AA turned on and you want an output file of letters.ppm,
I'll demonstrate what I'd type and I'll include the command promt to 
save any confusion: 

[sjlen:pov]$ x-povray -iletters.pov -oletters.ppm -W800 -H600 +A0.3
