Matrix user forums

Hi,

I am trying to run an example from the C for 16 PIC microcontrollers in the sourceboost ide environment, but seem to be getting following problem that is listed below. Anyone have a clue to what is wrong (probably an authorisation/settings problem).

Thanks in advance

Kees

Hello,

First of all i'm guessing you have the appropriate user permissions for the "keesp" user account to allow you to access the my documents folder.

Other then that please can you tell us which operating system you are using and whether it is 32 or 64 bit.

Also are you running any antivirus software or firewall software that could be potentially blocking the compiler from running correctly?

Hi Ben,

I am using Windows 7 (32-bit) on an AMD64 Turion machine. reading your mail has made me wonder if the sourceboost IDE should be started in administrator mode...I'll try that.

Cheers

That did the trick! I suddenly remembered that Windows 7 is much more picky on this issue. So activating the C for PIC micro series in administrator mode (right button menu...you see it immediately) will allow correct compilation and building.

Thanks Ben for putting me on the right track
