Hi all,

I am greeted with the following error when trying to compile:

In file included from sketch_jun08a.ino:2:0:
C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Arduino\libraries\ShiftLCD/ShiftLCD.h:116:16: error: conflicting return type specified for 'virtual void ShiftLCD::write(uint8_t)'
virtual void write(uint8_t);
^
In file included from C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Arduino\libraries\ShiftLCD/ShiftLCD.h:38:0,
from sketch_jun08a.ino:2:
C:\Program Files\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\cores\arduino/Print.h:48:20: error: overriding 'virtual size_t Print::write(uint8_t)'
virtual size_t write(uint8_t) = 0;
^
Error compiling.

I found this library here:Arduino Adventures: Controlling an LCD Display with a Shift Register

Can anyone tell me what is wrong here?

Thanks in advance!
