There was a bit more information even before. According to your original
post, it said:

| File init error.
| Error opening output file.

Now it should say something like:

| File init error.
| Error opening output file `foo.png': Permission denied.

If you still get the original message, you are probably not running 
the executable. Did you run "make install"? Type 

    ls -l `which megapov` 

to see where your povray binary is located, and whether the modification
date is what you expect (I didn't notice before that you are using
megapov. I wrote the patch for megapov, but my patching instructions
were for regular pov - the only difference is the name of the source
directory, though).
