How do I interpret this Build Error dialog?

In Sample Stacks, search for LiveCode Error Lookup. I keep it my Plugins 
folder. You can paste the whole list of errors into it and it will tell you 
what they mean.

However, usually you only need the first line which is where a break would 
happen in the IDE. The other lines are, in reverse order, the messages that 
led up to the topmost error.

The first item in each line is the error code, the second is the script 
line number, and the third is the character offset in the line.

An advantage of this stack is that it reads the error descriptions from the 
currently running copy of LiveCode so it is always up to date. New errors 
are added as the language expands.
