The compiler found multiple library files with the requested crate name.
+```compile_fail
+// aux-build:crateresolve-1.rs
+// aux-build:crateresolve-2.rs
+// aux-build:crateresolve-3.rs
+
+extern crate crateresolve;
+//~^ ERROR multiple candidates for `rlib` dependency `crateresolve` found
+
+fn main() {}
+```
+
This error can occur in several different cases -- for example, when using
`extern crate` or passing `--extern` options without crate paths. It can also be
caused by caching issues with the build directory, in which case `cargo clean`
may help.
+
+In the above example, there are three different library files, all of which
+define the same crate name. Without providing a full path, there is no way for
+the compiler to know which crate it should use.
