private var bowtext = 0;
private var lantext = 0;

function OnGUI () 
{
	while(lantext == 1)
	{
		GUI.Label (Rect (0,0,100,50), "Press 'E' to pick up Lantern");
	}
	while(bowtext == 1)
	{
		GUI.Label (Rect (0,0,100,50), "Press 'E' to pick up Bow");
	}
}

function Update () 
{
	if (Physics.Raycast(Transform.position, Transform.forward, hit, rayCastlength))
	{
		//is the player touching a lantern pickup object?
		while (hit.Collider.gameObject.tag == "lanternpickup")
		{
			//display text
			lantext = 1;
			if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
			{
				//activate lantern in players hand
				
				//destroy pickup object
				Destroy(hit.gameObject);
				lantext = 0;
			}
			
		}
		else
		{
		//stop displaying text
		lantext = 0;
		}
		//is the player touching a bow pickup object?
		while (hit.Collider.gameObject.tag == "bowpickup")
		{
			//display text
			bowtext = 1;
			if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
			{
				//activate bow in players hand
				
				//destroy bow pickup object
				Destroy(hit.gameObject);
				bowtext = 0;
			}
		}
		else
		{
		//stop displaying text
		bowtext = 0;

line 35 → 39, you apply a “else” to a "while, this is not good.

you write lantext = 1 in the while loop. But if the player does not hit the “E” key, you directly do :

else
{
    //stop displaying text
    lantext = 0;
}

So I don’t know what you really want to do, but you are doing it wrong. Anyway, your build error is because of this “else” statement
