[SOLVED] Error (718) in MPLAB IDE v8.88

[hassanzia]

HI I'm using MPLAB IDE 8.88 with a C18 compiler to compile a codes for PIC microcontrollers. My problem is that whenever I try to build a code, it gives the following errors in the output window. (The codes compile correctly, I have used the same codes on friends laptop and they worked perfectly)

0: (718) incompatible intermediate code version; should be 3.2
: 0: (714) bad intermediate code

Link step failed.​

The code that generated the above error just contained a #include line and a void main(void) call. Any suggestions as to how I may remove the error?

Have you selected C18 as your tool or have you selected some other compiler in mplab? What version of c18 and mplab are you using? Can you post the code?

Here's the code I was using

#include <p18f4550.h>
#include <usart.h>

void main(void)
{
	

}

Yes I have selected C18 as my compiler (via the Project Wizard). I'm using C18 v3.43.

It is compiling properly without any errors in my MPLAB C18 Pro v3.44. Try reinstalling C18.

Problem Solved!

Possible Causes :

- Wrong Compiler Selected in the Project Wizard (I also had XC8 compiler installed on my system)
- XC8 compiler interfering with C18 compiler
- C18 compiler not installed properly

Solution :
- Make sure the correct compiler is referenced in the project (C18 for MPLAB IDE and XC8 for MPLAB.x)
- Re-install the compiler(s)

Thanks jayanth for your suggestions.
