  • That line is a bit short. Is that the full output? Is there a makefile you messed with? Also, have you tried restarting your workspace?

The line you showed in the comment makes me assume you accidentally created another directory named recover within your ~/workspace/pset4/recover/ directory. As directories and files share the same namespace, the linker cannot create an executable with the same name.

Remove or rename the directory ~/workspace/pset4/recover/recover

  • For deleting files, use rm command on the terminal. I had malfunctions with deleting in the file tree (it somehow was repeating my remove command on another file), so I don't use that function any more.
