Jason I understand your frustration and eagerness to move forward BUT your 
understanding of compile time problems, how to identify the cause and fix 
them is really important! You need to be in control of the compiler. You 
should not compromise simply because you don't understand what the problem 
is. If you want to be an "outstanding embedded engineer" view problems 
such as this as an opertunity to learn.
