Motor shield error

Hello
I am trying to get my motor controller to work.
I downloaded AFMotorlibv1.zip and ServoTimer1 and unpacked them.
I was not sure where they should go so I made a directory Arduino/hardware/library/ as suggested on the site where I downloaded the software.

I then compiled the following in Arduino - 0011:
#include <ServoTimer1.h>

ServoTimer1 servo1;
ServoTimer1 servo2;

void setup ()
{
Serial.begin(9600) ; // set up Serial library at 9600 bps
Serial.println("Servo test!") ;

servo2.attach(9) ;
servo1.attach(10) ;
}

void loop ()
{
Serial.print("tick");
servo1.write(180);
servo2.write(0);
delay(1000);

Serial.print("tock");
servo1.write(0);
servo2.write(180);
delay(1000);
}

At first it told me it could not find #include <ServoTimer1.h> so I placed a link to /opt/cross/avr/include and then it seemed able to find it.

Now however I get the following error:
error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant In function 'void setup()':
In function 'void loop()':

I am not sure what the problem is. I am running Suse 10.2 and am only a novice when it comes to Arduino and programming. Can anyone help.
Thanks
Brian

Make sure the libraries are installed in the right place.

On my system it is /home/steve/arduino-0011/hardware/libraries/

The /arduino-0011/ bit is obviously where the arduino program is located.

The code verifies fine on my system with version 0011, but not with version 0012.

There are other posts about how to fix that on the forum somewhere
