Are you sure you're using MCC18 v2.40?

I have not seen this particular error, however, I have a few suggestions:
-Are you running the versions of MPLAB and C18 that came in the 2006 KOP? If not, there's your problem--newer versions of the C18 compiler will not work to compile our robot code.
-Have you tried a clean build? Does MPLAB say "Deleting file.... .o" a few times before it compiles?
-Which code are you trying to compile?

Good luck

EDIT: HAH! dhoizner beat me! Oh well, I'll leave this here anyhow

The IFI libraries were compiled with the old version (2.4). The new linker cannot link those libraries. You need to go back to version 2.4 of the compiler.

Thanks! I was running the new 3.02 version, so I installed the old version and it works like a dream! I had to do the same thing with IFI Loader too to get it to download to the robot.
Thanks
