    On my system it is located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microchip\MPLAB\MPASM Suite\LKR\16f716_g.lkr
     
    This is what my MPLAB v8.92 build output looks like:
    /*

    I'd also be wary about using MPLAB8 on a project with spaces in the path.

    Thanks.
    Anyway after opening another project using the same chip in MPLAB the linker problem got vanished.
    You mean to name my project without spaces..!!!

    Yes, no spaces in the project name.
    I'd also tend to put it in a folder without spaces in the path, so NOT in "My Documents" ...
