Hi I am a newbie trying to use povray for rendering images of molecules. I
use Swiss PDB viewer to create a .pov file which I then try to render in
povray 3.6 (mac osX 10.3.6).
I have solved some issues regarding the program not finding the path to the
input file etc. by reading earlier threds on the forum.

However, when i now try to render the messeage I get is:

version 3.60)

I understand from reading the instructions that I am limited to using a

understand how to get around this problem... What shall i Type to prevent
this from happening?

The include files are:

#include "colors.inc" (this is line 13)
#include "textures.inc"

and further down:

#include "Macintosh HD:Users:tkallelundgren:Desktop:o"

I am grateful for any tips,
