Make sure you import with correct extension.

I got the error when I by mistake wrote #import "AClass.m" instead of #import "AClass.h" :-)

Same problem, would've taken forever to find this without this comment, thanks!

Great. I compiled code in a .cpp file, and tried to use the function from a .mm file, and it failed like this. Renaming the .cpp file wasn't enough.. I had to actually create a new .mm file, and cut and paste the code from the old .cpp to the .mm, to make it work.

I had to remove this library libz.1.2.3.dylib and add this one libz.1.2.5.dylib. After that it compiled fine.

I had the same issue, and this sorted it. Thanks @mracoker.

Try Product -> Clean. Worked for me.

How to add as a compiled source

Make sure if you have external classes they are added in the compile sources. I had the same error when i was trying to import a certain class. To fix it goto build phases and add it into the compiled sources.

Got the same error, now even when I`ve deleted libxml2 from project error still here :) This sh**y XCode wrote this:

LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS = (
+                    "$(inherited)",
+                    /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS3.0.sdk/usr/lib,
+                );

into project`s config file "project.pbxproj" in "MyProj.xcodeproj".

You can change this path by hands to something like:

LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS = (
+                    "$(inherited)",
+                    /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulatorOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulatorOS3.0.sdk/usr/lib,
+                );

But do not forget to change it back when compile into device. I`ll try to find more simple way to resolve this problem.

I had a similar problem when building a project but this time with the file timbreID.c

arm-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1: timbreID.c: No such file or directory
Command /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1

After several attempts I finally looked into the 'Targets' on my XCode project and realized that the file timbreID.c was red (= not found). I right-clic on it and chose the new path manually.

After that: build succeeded!!

I also solved a similar error by correcting incorrect targets.

just remove the libz1.2.3 and add the libz1.2.5 library to your build phase.

I had the same problem and I went on checking the target info

In the library search paths there was this entry, "$(DEVELOPER_DIR)/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator4.0.sdk/usr/lib"

I removed it and the app WORKED!!!

If this is a problem related to a specific frame work, make sure it is enabled in the build phase. For me I had to add MessageUI.framework: In Xcode 4 goto the build phases tab for your target. Make sure you see the frameworks you are using. If it's not there click + to add it.

Try to issue the failed command from the command line. There, you will see the stderr output that is not shown via GUI.

how should we issue the failed command from the command line?

I was getting the same error even though none of the files in the navigation pane were red. Turns out I refactoring the name of a class throws the xcode path locations off. The solution that worked for me was to select the .h and .m files one at a time, set the location to "Absolute Path" (in the right hand menu, leftmost tab) and then browse to its location in the file system.

To add to Graham Heath's answer - which I think deserves more prominence in the thread.

Checking for a missing framework is the quickest and easiest fix to try. Totally non-destructive and probably the cause of these sort of errors for most people. Just browse the list of frameworks for something that looks appropriate and try it. I think many people are fooled because XCode does not flag a problem with a class when you write the code - just when you link it.

My error was: "linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)" concerning a couple of errors in CoreLocation:

"Undefined symbols for architecture armv7: "_OBJC_CLASS_$_CLLocationManager", referenced from: objc-class-ref in NPTViewController.o"

I added CoreLocation.framework and the job was done.
