h2. Frequently Asked Questions

    101
    
    
    
h3. For some reason, it claims that it can't find @avr-g++@, even though I know I gave it right path.  Why?





    102
    
    
    





    103
    
    
    
There are a few common reasons for this, mostly under Windows:





    104
    
    
    
# The permissions on the folder you have given are wrong, so the program can't see the files





    105
    
    
    
# You have a non-ASCII character (like รถ) in the path.





    106
    
    
    





    107
    
    
    
The easiest way to fix these are to put the Arduino (or WinAVR/AVR-GCC) files into a folder that is safe.  I recommend putting them in an Arduino folder in the @C:\Program Files@.
