    Hi
    I got this error message when I tried to compile this project in MPLab. 

    "Error - could not find file './output/start.o"

    I checked for "start.o" and found that it was in fact where it should be (so I obviously tried compiling again with out changing anything ...) and what do you know...  MPLab still reports this error. 

    Then I tried adding the file manually (which I thought was a bit of a shot in the dark but what the hell...) I got the same result.

    I tried opening the file to view it using: Vim, NotePad++, and TextPad and nothing meaningful was in the file (Null, @, etc).  Is this normal?

    Any help would be great.  Also this probably goes without saying but I'm not mega savvy on any of this so I'm afraid I must ask that responses be written in boring, everyday English to ensure my eyes don't glaze over.

      OK so I created a folder called "output" in C:\MCC18\lib and copied the start.o file in there.  Is this right?

      Anyway, now I don't get that error but I do get a new one:

      "Error - section '_high_isr' type is non-overlay and absolute but occurs in more than one input file."

      I searched every file in the project and found "_high_isr" to be in "start.c" only.

      I removed usbpic.lkr from my project which I had added simply because it was there.  

      I guess I'm done talking to myself now...
