Save the message with the patch to a file (e.g., "/tmp/errmsg.patch")

Get the povray sources, if you don't have them already, and unpack them.

Go to the source directory (cd povray31/source)

Invoke the patch command:

    patch < /tmp/errmsg.patch

It should mumble a bit about successfully applying some hunks, and if
you look into povray.c and render.c afterwards, you should see the new
error messages there.

Recompile povray as explained in the file CMPL_Unix.doc.
