David,
     Just try to recompile; if it doesn't work, it will come up  
again. This is by far a much earlier and quicker way to finding the  
initial problem as opposed to looking for logs, etc because odds  
hunting for the specific log will take a while in the build  
directory. Besides, your compile might work this time if you try again.
