here is my code
 

lcd_putc() functions prints one character on lcd. It doesn't print strings.

See if this code prints character A on lcd.

Code: 
#include "p18F4520.h"
#include <delays.h>
#pragma config OSC=LP
#define _XTAL_FREQ 32768

#include "lcd_1.c"

#define E LATDbits.LATD6
#define R_W LATDbits.LATD5
#define RS LATDbits.LATD4
#define LCDdata PORTB

void main()
{
lcd_init();
delay_ms(100);
while(1)
{
R_W = 0;
lcd_gotoxy(1,1);
delay_ms(1000);
lcd_putc('A');
}
}

}

change [
Code: 
 BOOLEAN enable
to
Code: 
 BOOLEAN E
Wherever there is enable change it to E.

Why are you using Fosc = 32768 Hz?

Your crystal frequency is 4MHz, not 32.768kHz.

Try programming your board using the hex file in the attached project.

If it works, then try compiling the C18 project.

For full benefit, connect serial port to a terminal at 9600,8,n,1 no handshake. Option "h" reads the on-board temperature sensor.

Hi inneed of help,

Once again i'm confirming it,
RS pin to PIN D6
EN pin to PIN D4
R_W pin to PIN D5
data pins to PORT B

Unzip the file and import the hex to your mplab and program it. It should work. I checked it in my case. I'm displaying a string "Electronics" by sending one by one character.
Also please explain how you are importing and programming the file to your microcontroller. Please try it ..

Is your code for 8 bit LCD?

hemanath's code is working. It is for 8 bit LCD.

only need to import the hex file to my Mplab ide will do ?

- - - Updated - - -

yes 8 bit.
 

hemnath's code is using internal oscillator. I think hemnath's code is just for lcd. Don't know about importing the hex. I think hemnath used the code posted in his previous posts.
