I have been able to use my Arduino as a ISP for my Attiny84 for a blinking LED sketch. However, I need Arduino to program my Attiny84 using software written for openenergymonitor. I have followed the steps on this page:http://wiki.openenergymonitor.org/index.php?title=Raspberry_Pi#.28Optional.29_Bootload_the_ATtiny84. The steps basically say to download a tiny folder and put it in the hardware folder to allow certain boards(attiny's) to appear when you select a board. As I stated earlier I have been successful in programming my tiny84 for programs that aren't of my interest. I even have been successful with uploading a bootloader with the errors:"avrdude: please define PAGEL and BS2 signals in the configuration file for part ATtiny84," which I have read are OK. But, when I try to upload or even compile this sketch I get an error that expands throughout all of the steps I am required to do.

Now I done every single step probably 5-6 times at least and even used different versions of Arduino: 1.0.3, 1.0.5, 1.0.6. I have tried every single forum post and was curious if I am just missing something so obvious it's invisible?
Thanks for all help in advance.
Also here is the code:

In case you want more details...
Thank you so much.
I found a reply you made: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,60649.0.html.
The details of your reply helped me finally upload the file.
Thanks again.
Also I had to use this page: programming problems, could use help. - adafruit industries
to fix an error I received when my usb port messed up after doing all that work. This is just in case anyone has a similar issue.
You are welcome. Glad to know you have it working.
+1 for following instructions
