It looks like this was a temporary issue on the backend that Treehouse resolved.

I tried again an hour later with the exact same code and it went through fine.

Ok, figured it out.

I downloaded the x86 version of the dev Kit, while my computer runs on ubuntu x64.

Hope it helps you to troubleshoot if this happens to you.

I am still getting this error on three separate Code Challenges. I retried the challenges again over the past three days and the error still occurs. I have made a separate post but have not received any replies. Is there an issue on the backend that hasn't been resolved? Not finishing these challenges is very frustrating. Please help!

I got the exact same problem during the 'getting started' video. I just create the new 'Sup' project, I comment out the root and I replace it, as in the video and then click on: Run > Main.

I get exactly the same output.

Can anyone give me some feedback on this?
