Errors or warnings? I wanted to point out that lots of warnings can come up
because of a change in the way that POV-Ray handles declarations (unless you
go into the LGEO include files and add semicolons to the appropriate lines as
I have done with many of the files). These can be very annoying, but won't
stop the rendering process. If you are getting genuine errors it might have
something to do with POV-Ray not knowing where to find the LGEO include files
which are listed at the top of the resultant POV file that L2P creates.

It doesn't really matter where you put them, but like I said before POV-Ray
has to be told where they are. Check out the file "povray.ini" (you can get
there from the Tools menu; select "Edit master POVRAY.INI") and down at the
bottom it will list the paths of places where POV-Ray should look for files. I
have my LGEO files in a directory called "LGEO" under another directory
called "Graphics" on my C: drive, so my paths look like this in povray.ini:
Library_Path=C:\Program Files\POV-Ray for Windows v3.1\INCLUDE
Library_Path=C:\Graphics\LGEO
You will want to add a path that looks something like:
Library_Path=C:\LDraw\LGEO
or where ever you put your LGeo include files.
Good luck with it, I'm sure you'll enjoy the hearty goodness of LGeo once
you get it set up properly.
