Error compiling for board Adafruit Trinket 8MHz.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

I'm totally new to coding. I just spent 6 hours trying to get the software working. I spent a few hours assembling the Kaleidoscope Eyes (Trinket-Powered NeoPixel LED Ring Goggles).

I need HELP!!! Or put away at an insane asylum. Does anyone have any ideas why it's not loading up. And my soldering could have been better on the trinket, but on the LED rings, look very good. Just in case, I'll buy a new trinket board, and try soldering it again. If eventually both boards and my soldering were good enough, i'll have an extra trinket for my next project.

But just in case its the software, I hope for help.

Also, I figured how to make Arduino IDE Trinket compatible, took hours to figure out.

Help please.

Ok, I installed the software on a new computer running 7. I try it all over again. Now I get the message:

Sketch uses 3338 bytes (62%) of program storage space. Maximum is 5310 bytes.

i HAD TO DELETE FILE LOCATION ENTRIES BECAUSE MY POST WAS TO LONG.

So, my only choice now is to assume that my soldering on the trinket was bad some how. I get consistent error, could not find device, specifically usbtiny. Considering the website says:

From the Tools→Board menu, select either Adafruit Trinket 8 MHz or Adafruit Trinket 16 MHz (either one will work). Also make sure to select USBTinyISP from the Tools:Programmer menu. Connect the USB cable between the computer and Trinket, press the reset button on the board, then click the upload button (right arrow icon) in the Arduino IDE.

My questions are, do I upload when the trinket red led is blinking or after? Either way, I get the same. I'll buy the trinket. If you agree with my assessment, PLEASE RESPOND TO MY POST AND CONFIRM. IF YOU DON'T AGREE POST THAT TOO.
