GSM library examples don't compile in Arduino 1.0.6.

I get this error when compiling, for example, GsmWebClient and ReceiveSMS.

Arduino: 1.0.6 (Mac OS X), Board: "DIY Cellphone (ATmega1284p, 8mhz)"
/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/libraries/GSM/GSM3ShieldV1ModemVerification.cpp: In member function 'String GSM3ShieldV1ModemVerification::getIMEI()':

Solved with backporting of GSM lib from 1.5.8. Thanks!

How do I copy the backported GSM lib into my PC libraries folder so that I can compile the code? I'm getting the same errors as above.

I suggest you to use Arduino IDE 1.5.8 or wait for IDE 1.0.7 (that will be released shortly).

If you can't wait here a zip file with the updated GSM lib:
http://downloads.arduino.cc/GSM-Arduino-1.0.7-afc368b.zip

The updated source code is here:

Many thanks for this - the zip file replacement for the GSM directory worked fine.
