SOLVED Where has fmalpartida's prog gone?

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

I am adding the arduino IDE to a new computer and want to add libraries like the one Francisco does for the LCD
this one
When I click on the 'here' after Source code for the library and documentation can be downloaded from the download section of this repository
I go to a bitbucket page that is broken or closed (404)
this one
Does anyone know where I can get the library from?

thanks.

That's strange, for some reason the URL doesn't work without the trailing front slash. This will get you to the downloads page:
https://bitbucket.org/fmalpartida/new-liquidcrystal/downloads/

there are dozens of libraries for that LCD, for both parallel and I2C connection methods. I think there's a version of the LiquidCrystal library included with the IDE; I would use that one unless there's some reason it won't work for your application.

Many of the older ones don't work with the current version of the Arduino core due to a change in print() behavior in the early 1.6.x versions - I think that version predates the change, so you may find that it won't work even if you get it.

I've found this one but its a tar file ? can I load this in ? I have tried different ways to get it to be recognised by the IDE without any luck.

Sorry I was typing when you both replied and then my connection died
DrAzzy, the file works fine on my other computer and the sketch is made using it,
pert, I have tried your slash and got the page, I will try to download it and get back here.
