Your MPLAB version doesn't affect this problem. It's really a C18 Linker issue.
If you're seeing that particular error it means you are somehow pulling in pre-compiled object files that don't happen to match the compiler/linker version you are using, e.g., Vex_alltimers.lib.

What do you have set for your "Language Toolsuite" paths?
In MPLAB:
Project->Select Language Toolsuite...
then click on each of the tools: "MPLINK Object Linker" and "MPLAB C18 C Compiler" and verify the paths displayed under "Location."

Have you ever used your current setup with a full-sized robot controller or other PIC?

Without more information, such as the compiler/linker status output from a complete build from scratch, I'd recommend resetting all your paths to use everything that came with the vex kit, including the C18 compiler, e.g.,
C:\Program Files\Intelitek\easyC\Mcc18\bin\mcc18.exe
and mplink.exe.
