adfruit library gives error line 5, column 6

Hey I just got started with 6.4 and trying to add 555 timer. Could not find it in the included libraries.

Tried downloading adfruit but it will not

 

Error:

 

line 5, column 6: This is not an EAGLE file.

 

Anyone know where I can find a 555 timer lib or how to fix adfruit?

 

Thx

TG

    Hello,

     

    I had that same error for a sparkfun library I was trying to use.  I think I had origionally right clicked and save as to get the file.  Once I used a download icon the file worked ok.  I would look to see if Adafruit has that option.

    Yep,

    Thanks. It was that. You cannot download from browser just by selecting "save link as".

     

    had to use download page

    Thanks
