Welcome to the forum

Your topic was MOVED to its current forum category as it is more suitable than the original as it has nothing to do with installation of the IDE

Looks like there is a mismatch between your AFMotor.cpp and AFMotor.h where one says the 'enable()' function returns an 'int' and the other says the same function doesn't return a value (returns 'void').

I think you need to find a different motor control library.

what should i do then

Which version of the library have you got installed and how did you install it ?

1.0.1

I would delete the old AFMotor.h and AFMotor.cpp files from the "ARDUINO_OBSTACLE_AVOIDING_CAR" sketch folder and instead use Tools -> Manage Libraries... to install "Adafruit Motor Shield Library by Adafruit". Note: Not "Adafruit Motor Shield V2 Library by Adafruit".

Thanks a Ton ! went thtough with the steps given by you. much appreciated.
