I posted something previously about it, but I guess it was taken down.
Do you mean this?:

I just checked and no topic you posted has ever been taken down.
Here's how you can find your previous posts:
- Hover the mouse pointer over your avatar in the top right corner of any arduino.cc page.

Okay, I'm getting an error message that says, avrdude: can't open device "giveio"
avrdude: failed to open parallel port "lptl".
This indicates you are doing a Sketch > Upload Using Programmer with Tools > Programmer > Parallel Programmer selected. Shortcuts for Upload Using Programmer are Ctrl + Shift + U or holding the Shift key while clicking the Upload button.
Are you intentionally trying to do an Upload Using Programmer? If so, do you really have a parallel port programmer (if so, you're probably the only Arduino user to use one this decade).
