Hi,
while using the codes mentioned on the main flex_lcd page, i encountered the following error, please help.

*** Error 128 "flex_lcd.c" Line 28(1,43): A #DEVICE required before this line

What can be done?

I wonder. Are you perhaps compiling under MPLAB?.

If so, you _must_ only include your main code, in the list of files to compile, _not_ the flex lcd file.
Files that are 'included' in the main file, _must not_ be added to the files to compile list in MPLAB. If you do add them, MPLAB will try to compile these _separately_, and will give the error you show. The error you are listing is the result of trying to compile the flex lcd driver _without_ a 'main' program file, containing the #device.

Best Wishes
