Error compiling a library I have previously used successfully?

Using Arduino IDE 1.x

Hi guys,

The Google hasn't been able to solve my problem, so I hope someone here might have some insight. I am using an Arduino UNO (running version 1.6.4), hooked up to a FONA 808 GPS-enabled board from Adafruit. I installed the library about a week ago and opened up the "GPS" example file without incident then. Now, when I open the example and hit "Verify", I get this error:

Arduino: 1.6.4 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

avr-gcc: error: C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Temp\build6002041280400533599.tmp/core.a: No such file or directory

I have tried:

  • restarting the Arduino IDE
  • restarting the computer
  • manually deleting and re-installing the Adafruit FONA library
  • going into my hard drive and looking for AppData (I didn't find a folder with that name under Users?)
  • googling Arduino compiling errors and temp folder problems

I don't know what to do if my Arduino seems to be looking for phantom temp files. Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

Thanks so much.

Hey guys--

I solved my problem by uninstalling Arduino and installing the newest version. What caused the original issue is still a mystery! Thanks for your attention though.
