Did you name a variable or function "main" that is not the main entry point of your program? You can't do that since it's a reserved keyword. Or do you have more than one "main" function in separate files? There can only be one main function. If not, posting the code would probably help (wrapped in CODE tags of course).

From the looks of it there is the auto-generated main.cpp that contains a main function when it is created, and you then created a new file JhavelHayes.cpp which you defined a new main in. You'll need to pick one, and delete the other.
