Arduino 1.8.5 teensyduino 1.42.

If I try to use the fastled version bundled with teensyduino I get other errors so I might be doing something wrong..
I thought this would work...

#include "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\teensy\avr\libraries\FastLED\FastLED.h"

But I get

What am I doing wrong.
Thanks.

Delete the „wrong“ fastLed library from the Arduino\libraries directory to remove any ambiguity first.

You have an older copy of FastLED in C:\Users\gibbe\Qsync\Arduino\libraries\FastLED, which is overriding the newer version Teensyduino installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\teensy\avr\libraries\FastLED

Arduino is trying to advise you about the problem with this message:

Multiple libraries were found for "FastLED.h"

This is actually a "feature" of Arduino. You can override libraries by installing a copy in your sketchbook libraries folder. That's useful when you need to use a different copy or you wish to edit the library. But it's a real pain later when you do another project and forget you placed a copy of the library in that location which overrides all others.

Thank you both.
Is it an ide bug that my manual include gave compile errors despite giving the message that the correct library was being used?
