Class Conflict between default classes and Wire Lbrary

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.#Include <Wire.h>
2. Place a call to Wire.write(xx) in loop function
3. Compiler returns error:

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

7SEGClock.cpp: In function 'void loop()':
_7SEGClock:37: error: call of overloaded 'write(int)' is ambiguous
/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/libraries/Wire/Wire.h:55: 
note: candidates are: virtual size_t TwoWire::write(uint8_t)
/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/arduino/cores/arduino
/Print.h:49: note:                 size_t Print::write(const char*)

What version of the Arduino software are you using? On what operating
system?  Which Arduino board are you using?

Using Arduino Version 1 running on Mac OS 10.6.8

The Arduino board is a Duemilanove

I see that this was reported earlier as Defect 527. The problem still exists, 
as of December 6, on the Mac version of Arduino 1.

The fix will be in the next release of the software.

Next release?  So is there a workaround we can use until then?

You can explicitly cast the number to a byte, e.g.: Wire.write(byte(0));
