My specs:

All my projects cannot be compiled since Ive upgraded my mac to High Sierra. Whenever I try to verify my project i get the following error (Even tried to compile just the examples with the same result):

Error compiling.

The actual project im actually trying to compile is the project mentioned on the Instructables page (http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Spectrum-Analyzer-on-a-10x10-RGB-LED-Matri/) last time I ran it it worked perfectly and out of nowhere im getting this errors. (Program attached!)

I already tried running it on the latest Arduino IDE. Any pointers to where the issue might be will be helpful and appreciated. Thank you!

I already tried running it on the latest Arduino IDE.

...and what happened? 1.6.7 is very outdated. The latest Arduino IDE is 1.8.5. If you still have the error using 1.8.5 then post the full error output from that IDE version.

Also, note that the error is about MSpanList_Insert, not MSpan_List as you said in your title. It's very important to get that right. I remembered the issue about this in the bug tracker but couldn't find it because you gave me the wrong keyword to search for. Here are the issue reports for this:

It seems that everyone was able to solve the problem by upgrading to the latest IDE version. The exception is there is an outstanding issue with arduinoOTA but I don't think you're using that so that shouldn't be the problem for you. Note that you also need to make sure you're running the latest version of Arduino AVR Boards, which you can check via Tools > Board > Boards Manager.

Welp, it is now compiling. Just gave it another shot this morning on the old IDE 1.6.7 and just like that it did not show the usual errors. Thanks for the prompt respond @pert!
