Error compiling for board Arduino/Geniuno Uno

I keep getting "error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno" when I try to do the initial task for communicating with Arduino Uno on setup.

I found one other topic that said I should go into Boards Manager and change Arduino AVR Boards from it's current installation to version 1.6.11, which I have done, but this has not made a difference.

The error that is coming up is:

Arduino: 1.8.10 (Mac OS X), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

dyld: Symbol not found: _unlinkat
Referenced from: /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/arduino-builder
Expected in: flat namespace

/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/arduino-builder returned 133

Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.

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

If anyone can help I would be so grateful.

Thanks
Laura

Well how about helping us to help you.
Post your code and we might just stand a chance to find out where you have gone wrong.
Please use the </> icon on the top row far left and paste your code between the tage that pop up.

  Blink

  Turns an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.

  Most Arduinos have an on-board LED you can control. On the UNO, MEGA and ZERO
  it is attached to digital pin 13, on MKR1000 on pin 6. LED_BUILTIN is set to
  the correct LED pin independent of which board is used.
  If you want to know what pin the on-board LED is connected to on your Arduino
  model, check the Technical Specs of your board at:

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}

Thanks for the code box.
That compiles fine for me using the IDE 1.8.10

You could always try reinstalling it.

I tried reinstalling Arduino completely and still having the same issue. Not sure what else to try

Is this a genuine Arduino or a cheap Chinese fake?
If it is a fake you will have to install extra USB drivers.

I bought it from the RS Components so hope it is not a fake...

See this thread: Compile Error: dyld: Symbol not found: _unlinkat - Installation & Troubleshooting - Arduino Forum

Thanks MrMark. I will give it a go and let you know how I get on

MrMark:
See this thread: Compile Error: dyld: Symbol not found: _unlinkat - IDE 1.x - Arduino Forum

That worked perfectly. Thank you MrMark

I Worked for hours looking for drivers. This answer safe my life LOL

I Just downloaded the old version of Arduino and everythink is working good.

Thank you, guys!
