If you are using the new version of the IDE you will need to remove the WProgram.h reference from the Button.h library. Change that line to #include "Arduino.h". Nick Gammon wrote a sticky that refernces this error. http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,97455.0.html

is there a button update for the Version 1.0 of the IDE
i am still having problems
i have changed the #include "WProgram.h"

If you get errors try locating such places and changing that line to:

Code:

#include "Arduino.h"

but still no joy so i must be doing some thing wrong
is there an online tutorial ?

all i want is a button to begin sequence on the sketch

I've never used the Button library, and its not referenced on the Arduino libraries page so I have no idea of its inner workings. Where did you get it? You might want to look into the Bounce library http://arduino.cc/playground/Code/Bounce

got it here
http://arduino.cc/playground/Code/Button

markthespark:
got it here
Arduino Playground - Button Library

Did you try the link on that page for the version 1.0 library?

there is a version for 1.0 available here http://github.com/tigoe/Button/archives/master

yes tried and got link
but still no joy will try again later

Considering the link provided above has a file Button.h which does not have a "WProgram.h" on line 23, I doubt you're getting the exact same error message. If you are, then you aren't installing the library properly. You shouldn't be putting it in the Arduino library folder anyway, it should be put in the libraries folder located in the same folder as your sketchbook.

Try deleting the old library, downloading the new one from the link above, and extracting it into a "libraries" subdirectory within your sketchbook folder and I bet you it will work.
