Getting error on compile - Variable does not exist: DeveloperName

I'm currently getting this error when trying to compile the following piece of code.

if (objectRecordTypeMap.get(objectName) == null){
    for (RecordType r : [select DeveloperName, Id from RecordType where sObjectType =: objectName]){
     recordTypeMap.put(r.DeveloperName, r.Id);
    }
    objectRecordTypeMap.put(objectName, recordTypeMap);
  } else {
   recordTypeMap = objectRecordTypeMap.get(objectName);
  }

I'm using version 30 of the API and it was compiling just a few days ago... I'm unsure what has changed as I haven't really changed much apart from trying out mavensMate. 

any ideas anyone? 

thanks.

I am assuming you have an Apex class with the same 'RecordType'.Could you go ahead and verify that in your org ??

Hi I have executed one part of this code where you are getting error but I am not getting any error message. Plese check it again.

I'm still getting the issue - whether it is in the developer console or execute anonymous... it might be that something is wrong with my sandbox - if I try running the following in execute anonymous I get the error:

"Compile error at line 1 column 18 Loop variable must be an SObject or list of RecordType"

for (RecordType r : [select DeveloperName, name, Id from RecordType where sObjectType ='Case']){
	System.debug(r);
}
Except if I run the same SOQL in Force.com Explorer (Beta) I get all the record types for 'Case' - what is going on ?

And if I try running this as execute anonymous:

List<RecordType> types =  [select DeveloperName, name, Id from RecordType where sObjectType ='Case'];

I get:

Compile error at line 1 column 1
Illegal assignment from LIST<RecordType> to LIST<RecordType>
