"recommended" - thumbs up. "possible" ? Ouch

Ed, got any projects in mind ? I've tried to teach a couple of
young relatives about micros and at first they were completely
unaware of what exactly PICs are capable of. I'm assuming
you at least have an inkling, and good on you for persisting
even though you only got a headache for your efforts

Was there any reason given for the "Failed to build" message ?
