/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1

Question

Any idea why I'm getting this error message?

/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1

I was trying to integrate MGTwitterEngine and yajl into my project, so followed the instructions over here...

http://damienh.org/2009/06/20/setting-up-mgtwitterengine-with-yajl-106-for-iphone-development/

Managed to get it to compile but it stopped with that error. Have now removed all the framework references I added to my project, and removed all the MGTwitterEngine classes, basically putting it back to what it was. Whenever I compile, I still end up with this...

/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1

If I open other projects, they work fine...

Very strange, any ideas?

Check that you don't have any frameworks in your project which don't exist for the iPhone. For example, I've seen a few people add QTKit.framework when they meant to add QuartzCore.framework.

Otherwise, post the actual output from the build command. In the "Build Results" window the error will have a small button to the right for more info.
