Hello!

I found the solution to the problem posted on this site here:
http://www.somewhereville.com/?cat=29

It worked for me.  Here's the text from the site:

"The error,

"The Error number is -199. (For internal reference only!)

"appears upon startup and exits from the program proper, such that POV-Ray
becomes useless (not pleasant when you need that last minute image 30 seconds
before lecturing).

"The only mention online (if you search by the message text) can be found at

"The error itself is not diagnosed, only noting that a corrupted file is not
being accessed upon startup and that running a Disk Utility verification/fixing
and reinstalling POV-Ray solves the problem. If this has happened to you, you
may have noted that verification/fixing and re-installation does not do the
trick.

"The origin of the problem on my machine could be traced to a crashed POV-Ray
rendering run of a number of images and the retention of the file POV-Ray Mac
3.6.plist in my /[USER]/Library/Preferences/ directory, which typically only
contains the file POV-Ray Preferences 3.5 (why an installation of POV-Ray 3.6
would still leave a 3.5 Preference file is beyond the scope of this post).

"Deleting the POV-Ray Mac 3.6.plist file fixes the problem.
