You might open the file in a text editor like vi and have a look
to see if it has Ctrl-M characters at the end of every line. 

I think Warp uses a Sun so he'll be able to tell you of any system
specific issues. 

There are others out there too who use Sun so you're not alone, 
it may have been better to post this in the povray.unix group,
it may also be an idea to have a look in there to see if there's
been other occurences of the problem that you're having. 

Is the include file in the same directory as the .pov file, or
is the include file in the include-file-path?
