I have just installed XOD, I am trying to work the simple LED on starter prog. I have avr-g++ installed in two places on my PC. C:/ and the XOD directory. My environmental variable point to :\avr-gcc. But all I get is in the image here. Any suggestions would be great.

I have spent ages trying to figure out why XOD will not upload the simplest LED on/off to my USB connected Arduino. I have done everything and more as described in the online tutorials to no avail. Incidentally, the Arduino IDE has no issues. So this has to be an XOD issue. Any ideas would be most gratefully received.

No fear folk, after completely re-installing my system and downloading XOD again it now works.
