2.8" TFT Display Shield Issue

That was the very first thing I tried when I got the TFT display. I set up the library “TFT” as instructed but none of the example programs provided in the link will compile. I just get a slew of errors and I have no idea how to correct them. Here, for example, are the errors I get when I try to compile the example “TFTEtchASketch” file provided in the download.
