How can I get Timer example sketches to compile correctly?

I’m trying to use the example sketches in the Timer library in Arduino 1.0.1 for the first time, but none of the example sketches will compile correctly. (Example sketches from other libraries DO compile correctly). Here are the error messages that I get:

TimeGPS ‘TinyGPS’ does not name a type
TimeNTP UDPBytewise was not declared in this scope
TimeRTC RTC was not declared in this scope
TimeRTCLog RTC was not declared in this scope
TimeRTSSet RTC was not declared in this scope
TimeSerial The ‘BYTE’ keyword is no longer supported.

What do I have to do to get these sketches to compile correctly?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

How can I get Timer example sketches to compile correctly?

Specifically, which example. Post the code, example or not.

TimeGPS ‘TinyGPS’ does not name a type

Most likely, this is not the first error, nor even the most important one. Fix the first one, bu installing the library.

TimeSerial The ‘BYTE’ keyword is no longer supported.

So, don't use it. How not to has been defined many, many times.

Those classes are in the Time library, not the Timer library, is that what you mean? Have you followed these instructions?

Thanks for your responses.

Yes, I followed the directions on the Arduino playground - Time library page at:
http://arduino.cc/playground/Code/Time

First, I downloaded the time.zip file, then extracted the folders within it. This yielded one folder named “Time” as well as three folders within this top level “Time” folder. These three folders were named “DS1307RTC”, “Time”, and “TimeAlarms” .

Then I copied the “Time” library into the Arduino “libraries” folder, then started Arduino.exe, and selected TimeSerial.pde from the Examples list. This sketch loaded and I pressed “Verify” and received the errors above. I think I did everything correct, and did it both for the top level “Time” folder and also for the “Time” folder contained within the top level folder. Neither one worked.

Unless I’m doing something wrong, there must be something wrong with the folder structure, but, if so, I am surprised this error is not already well known.

I also noticed that the Arduino playground page mentioned above says that questions about this library should be directed the forum at: http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,66054.0.html
so maybe I should ask these questions there.

I’m not very experienced with Arduino, so that’s why it is confusing.

Thanks again for any further information.
