Hello,

I have the Arduino Mega 2560 (I think it is the R3 one) and I cannot upload the Eliza proficient example. I get this error message:

Arduino: 1.8.8 (Windows Store 1.8.19.0) (Windows 10), Board: “Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)”

In function ‘global constructors keyed to 65535_0_Eliza.ino.cpp.o’:

RMC,

This is a problem with your Arduino IDE installation. Have you tried compiling any other example?

One of them used to work, but now none work. Do I need to install again? How do I fix it?

Oddly enough, it now compiles with no error. I didn’t change anything. I was having the same trouble with my code, which was a similar implementation of the intermediate Eliza example. I wasn’t using if(res==SILENCE), but when I added that part, it compiled with no errors. I would like to know why that piece of code makes such a big difference?

This code makes no difference at compile time.

Your Arduino IDE installation had/has issues. I am glad it started to work for you, otherwise I would have recommended starting a thread in the Arduino forum.
