Cannot add this library


i'm trying add library website located here https://github.com/4dsystems/visi-genie-arduino-library. however, when follow instruction adding library located on arduinos website here http://arduino.cc/en/guide/libraries, tells me following message in ide after trying load in library.

the library "visi-genie-arduino-library-master" cannot used. library names can contain basic numbers , letters. (ascii , no spaces, , cannot start number.

so changed zip file name visigenie.zip still said same message. ideas?

please disregard. i've figured out own problem. records include brief summary of how fixed issue.

issue:

the ide not recognizing library added. renamed zip folder geniearduino when did renaming subfolder of main folder unzipped. in other words top level folder not renamed "geniearduino" should be. therefore, still showing same error mentioned in original post.

my fix:

top level folders of library add should renamed resemble exact name of .h , .cpp files of new library adding. since files called geniearduino.h , geniearduino.cpp had rename the  top level folder geniearduino. naming "genielib" wrong.

also there complete revision of library "geniearduino" can downloaded here https://github.com/4dsystems/visi-genie-arduino-library. old library needs deleted new library take full effect. otherwise having both libraries in arduino library folder cause errors , issues.
