PopSci LED Grandfather Clock Project

I am a newbie to this stuffc and I figured I could tackle the LED Grandfather Clock project that was in the July issue of Popular Science and complete it with my 8 yr. old son. I am trying to upload the code to the Arduino and get all the below errors.

grandfather_clock_code.cpp: In function 'void setup()':
grandfather_clock_code:83: error: 'RTC' was not declared in this scope
grandfather_clock_code:83: error: 'setSyncProvider' was not declared in this scope

Any direction would be appreciated.

Now, that's hard to believe. If I said "Get out of here!", you'd appreciate that?

Since we can't see what code you are trying to compile, nor can we see what version of the IDE you are using or what libraries you have/have not installed correctly, we can't help you.

It appears, though, that you are using 1.0.1, and do not have the RTC library installed (correctly).

None of the libraries were loading. Thx.
