What does "cstddef: No such file or directory" mean?

Sorry for this beginner question T.T, but I was trying to learn how to use an MPU9250 imu on youtube and downloaded his code and installed the same library from library manager. But when I compiled, the compiler gives this error:

#include <mpu9250.h>

// The below code is for I2C communication with the Arduino.
// Links to the products used in this projects are mentioned in my blog.
#include <Wire.h>

mpu9250 IMU (Wire , 0x68);      // MPU9250 is a class and "IMU" is a object, we need to pass parameter to the object "IMU". wire is used for I2C communication, 
                                // second parameter is for I2C address, we left the ADO pin unconnected so its set to low, 0x68 is address,  
                                // if it was high then the address is 0x69

void setup() {                  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(9600);           // initialize the serial monitor 
  IMU.begin();                  // Initialize the IMU object
}

void loop() {
                                // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  IMU.readSensor();
  //Accelerometer data code
  Serial.print("Accelerometer X axis: ");   
  Serial.print(IMU.getAccelX_mss(), 3);     // to get the accelerometer value from the data buffer in the X direction, these values are in meter per second square
  Serial.print("               Accelerometer Y axis: ");
  Serial.print(IMU.getAccelY_mss(), 3);
  Serial.print("               Accelerometer Z axis: ");
  Serial.println(IMU.getAccelZ_mss(), 3);
  //Gyroscope data code
  Serial.print("Gyroscope X axis(radians): ");
  Serial.print(IMU.getGyroX_rads(), 3);        // gets the gyroscope value from the data buffer in the X direction, these vavlues are in radians per second
  Serial.print("           Gyroscope Y axis(radians): ");
  Serial.print(IMU.getGyroY_rads(), 3);
  Serial.print("           Gyroscope Z axis(radians): ");
  Serial.println(IMU.getGyroZ_rads(), 3);
  //Magnetometer data code
  Serial.print("Magnetometer X axis(MicroTesla): ");
  Serial.print(IMU.getMagX_uT(), 3);                //gets the magnetometer value from the data buffer in the X direction, these are in microtesla
  Serial.print("    Magnetometer Y axis(MicroTesla): ");
  Serial.print(IMU.getMagY_uT(), 3);
  Serial.print("    Magnetometer Z axis(MicroTesla): ");
  Serial.println(IMU.getMagZ_uT(), 3);
  //Temperature reading
  Serial.print("Temperature: ");
  Serial.println(IMU.getTemperature_C(), 2);         // gets the temperature value from the data buffer and returns it in units of C
  Serial.print("*********** Next buffer data *****************");
  Serial.println("    ");
  Serial.println("    ");
  Serial.println("    ");
  Serial.println("    ");
  delay(2000);

Can someone help me with what it means and what I can do to solve this issue? Any cmt would be appreciated.

Edit:
here is the .h file that i found. It does contain

...

#include <cstddef>
#include <cstdint>
#include "eigen.h"  // NOLINT
#include "Eigen/Dense"

...

so probably not having these are the problem ? T.T, but I don't know how to solve this. Pls help :sob:

mpu9250.h (10.0 KB)

It looks like the library is incompatible with your board.
What board are you using?

You need to download the latest version of the BolderFlight library from github (GitHub - bolderflight/invensense-imu: Arduino and CMake library for communicating with the InvenSense MPU-6500, MPU-9250 and MPU-9255 nine-axis IMUs.).

There are a few issues regarding this raised; e.g. Incompatible with AVR architecture ? · Issue #115 · bolderflight/invensense-imu · GitHub; see first reply by flybrianfly.

sorry for the delay, i'm using an arduino uno.

hello thanks for the reply. I did download the latest version available but through the arduino library manager. Ill go have a look on the links that you gave. Thanks!
