Hello, everbody I am new at this forum. Today I received a Arduino Uno. I use Lubuntu Linux. I tried to upload both my own program and the LED blink example. Both times I get this error:

I don't have any experience with Arduino or electronics. Is this just a IDE error?

Thanks, for any help,

error: avr/io.h: No such file or directory

The GCC-AVR compiler is either not installed or is not correctly installed.

Thanks, I thought I had AVR GCC installed. I'm gone a try to install AVR GCC again.

Thanks, for the help,

Superpelican :slight_smile:

[edit]I checked AVR GCC = installed. It has to be an other problem...
:frowning:
[/edit][edit]I reinstalled the AVR GCC, the situation don't changes. The error shows some files in the Arduino IDE software folder. I found the files in the software folder. That means that al those"expected:...." are not in the examples or my programs, but in the Arduino IDE files!
Hope that people now have more info about my problem,
