any help at all?

Found package".ControlP5" when a type was expected.

it happens from the the first bit of code I know... don't remember the exact code line, but it something to the effect of

ControlP5 P5control;

it does it on all example sketches...

sorry bout the cut off title, didn't see that

the only instance of ControlP5.jar I have is located in my Processing>libraries>ControlP5> folder, and I have placed the example patches that came with it in Processing>examples>#name of example#>

As far as I know I have the latest version of both ControlP5 Direct from development site, and latest Processing also...

I get the exact same error from each example, or from sketches I attempt myself... it errors on line

ControlP5 controlP5;

The exact error is as follows...

/tmp/build54050.tmp/Temporary_8737_8960.java:3:1:3:9: Semantic Error: Found package ".ControlP5" when a type was expected.

/tmp/build54050.tmp/Temporary_8737_8960.java:12:19:12:27: Semantic Error: Found package ".ControlP5" when a type was expected.

/tmp/build54050.tmp/Temporary_8737_8960.java:30:26:30:37: Semantic Error: Type "ControlEvent" was not found.

--------

The code I ran for this error is the ControlP5bang example as seen below
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
import controlP5.*;

ControlP5 controlP5;

int myColorBackground = color(0,0,0);



void setup() {
 size(400,400);
 frameRate(30);
 controlP5 = new ControlP5(this);
 controlP5.addBang("bang",40,200,120,40);
 for(int i=0;i<4;i++) {
   controlP5.addBang("bang"+i,40+i*80,100,40,40).setId(i);
 }
 controlP5.controller("bang").setLabel("changeBackground");
}

void draw() {
 background(myColorBackground);
}

void bang() {
 int theColor = (int)random(255);
 myColorBackground = color(theColor);
 println("a bang event. setting background to "+theColor);
}

void controlEvent(ControlEvent theEvent) {
 println(
 "## controlEvent / id:"+theEvent.controller().id()+
 " / name:"+theEvent.controller().name()+
 " / label:"+theEvent.controller().label()+
 " / value:"+theEvent.controller().value()
 );
}

In the ControlP5 installation instructions it says to put the  controlP5 folder in your sketches folder, _not_ in the libraries folder. It works for me.
