Thats why I hate canned code. CodeVision's trademark feature is this  
sort of hand holding.

Heck, until recently I used my own EEPROM access routines rather than  
use those provided in avr-libc. Still use my own UART and SPI code.  
Easier to write my own than to understand and/or conform to what  
others did.

Linking with other threads, "do you have a debugger?" Set a breakpoint  
before and after i2c_init() and see what the DDR bits look like before  
and after.
