Unmodified ArduinoISP will not compile

I tried to load the ArduinoISP sketch that comes with the IDE, without modifying it, and this is what I get:

Does anyone know what might be the problem? I can't find anyone else who has gotten this error before.

Does an empty sketch compile?

void setup( void ) { }
void loop( void ) { }

Yes, it compiles perfectly fine.

Looks like the same error you have... http://code.google.com/p/arduino/issues/detail?id=518

I had the same errors; I noticed that in the sketch window, there were two tabs, each named "ArduinoISP". At first, I thought that the second tab was where the functions were located, but when I examined it more closely, it appeared to be an almost identical file. It turns out that in the Examples folder for this sketch there were two files, each called "ArduinoISP" but one had an extension of ".ino" and the other was ".pde". I removed the file with the ".pde" extension, and it compiled without error.

I don't know why the .pde file was there, but I use Sugarsync to sync my Arduino files between my development netbook and my Mac. Sugarsync may have gotten the two confused in the sync process.

MLeBlanc: I don't know why the .pde file was there, but I use Sugarsync to sync my Arduino files between my development netbook and my Mac. Sugarsync may have gotten the two confused in the sync process.

By default, Arduino 1.0 and later automatically rename PDE files to INO files. Sugarsync probably doesn't handle renamed files correctly.
