Serial was not declared in scope. Really...

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Come on this is just plain nonsense. Since when do I have to declare Serial??
It gives this error when trying to compile the examplesketch named arduinoISP

Then there is something wrong with your environment. What version of the IDE are you using? What Operating System? Have you installed any libraries recently or support for non-Arduino processors?

3

Yes this compiles for me. I am on the latest Arduino V 1.0.1

4

Me too. Maybe because I didn't install on the C drive?

5

That will not matter.
Try installing it again, maybe something went wrong the first time.
