avr-g++": file does not exist

[arun1944]

I am trying to compile a simple "BLINK" sketch for Arduino UNO board, using Arduino IDE v1.6.13 on my Win 8.1 OS.
But while compiling, the output window shows an error message
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avr-gcc\4.9.2-atmel3.5.3-arduino2/bin/avr-g++": file does not exist
Error compiling for board Arduino/Genuino Uno.

How do I resolve this issue, any suggestions please ?

Sounds like your installation is corrupt... You may want to try removing and reinstalling Arduino

[facchinm]

Before starting the uninstall/reinstall dance, try opening the Board Manager and uninstall the AVR core. If everything goes well the label should become "BUILTIN" and the IDE should start using the builtin core again (with its related tools)

@arun1944 did it solve your issue? 😄

[arun1944]

I had to delete the "C\Users\...Arduino15" file, uninstall the Arduino IDE program, and then re-install 1.6.13 version. Now it is working fine. Anyway Thanks for ur concern -Arun

xec: "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avr-gcc\4.9.2-atmel3.5.4-arduino2/bin/avr-g++": file does not exist
Fehler beim Kompilieren für das Board Arduino/Genuino Mega or Mega 2560.

This happens when running a suggested "Board update" while compiling something. Then the update doesnt work and the board is unusable.

I fixed it with Board Manager -> Install "Arduino AVR Boards (1.6.19)" -> Restart Arduino IDE -> Install Arduino AVR Boards 1.6.20+ again. Then it worked. Simply reinstalling the complete Arduino IDE didnt help. I first tried to install 1.8.4 over 1.8.3 and still had the same issue.

@Nibbels probably on the first round the extraction failed but the folder structure (and relevant files) where in the correct place, so every other installation would pick theme as the correct core. Uninstalling und reinstalling the core from board manager does the trick as you discovered 😉

My problem solved as suggested by Nibbels, thank you

I had the same error message on a Mega 2560 R3 using IDE 1.8.5 and AVR Boards 1.6.20. I installed AVR Boards 1.6.19, and that solved the problem. Re-installing 1.6.20 failed, so I went back to 1.6.19. It seems to work fine.

@facchinm worked for me!
