compiler error in non-existing line?

[kocika73]

Hi, guys, perhaps it is a wrong board, sorry about that in advance.
I have been working on my C project, and I used Dev-C++, and then gcc on UNIX, and i keep getting the same error: parse error in line which does not exist in the .c file... For example, the file has exactly 62 lines, and I get parse error in 63! What is going on? Can somebody tell me?

Missing closing bracket? (Could be caused by mismatched parentheses, mismatched quotes, mismatched brackets.)

Compile a simple "hello world" program to see whether its your code or the compiler..

Thanks, I already know what happened. It is just so misleading to read about an error in a line outside of the file....
Thanks.
