Program Won't Compile

Development Tools IDE 1.x

I have been getting this error when compiling. I am using an Arduino Uno with IDE version 1.6.9.

Arduino: 1.6.9 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.

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

Try updating to Arduino IDE 1.8.0 from http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software. Not sure if that will solve the problem but it's worth a shot.

When I try to install, it gives me an unspecified error.

A bunch of people have had IDE problems, including IDE crashes and bizarre compile errors, when they had a previous installation. At least some of those problems seem to be caused by incompatible executables and preference files that the IDE saves outside the IDE installation directory. Perhaps that is what is causing your particular problem. In such cases it appears that the fix is to delete or rename the old "Arduino15" directory and re-install the IDE.

On Mac OS X:
/Users/(username)/Library/Arduino15 (a.k.a. ~/Library/Arduino15)
(Note: The 'Library' folder is greyed out in Finder. The folder can't be opened with a double-click. To browse the contents of 'Library', ctrl-click on it and select "Open in New Tab" from the pop-up menu.)

On Windows delete or rename both:
Arduino IDE 1.6.5r5 and previous: C:\Users(username)\AppData\Roaming\Arduino15
Arduino IDE 1.6.6 and later: C:\Users(username)\AppData\Local\Arduino15

On Linux:
/home/(username)/.arduino15 (a.k.a. ~/.arduino15)
(Note: file/folder names starting with '.' are not normally shown in directory listings. Use 'ls -a' to get a directory listing that includes the hidden files.)

Thanks, that worked fine!
