The name IEnumerator does not exist in current context

This is the most annoying error I've had in a while. I want to make a simple loop to move my camera to another point in Unity, using C#.

I'm "using System.Collections.Generic", and IEnumerator even shows up in the suggestions when I start typing it, but as soon as I'm done, it goes red and has an error that reads "Assets/Scripts/NerworkManager.cs(190,9): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `IEnumerator' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?" in the console, and "error CS0103: The name IEnumerator does not exist in the current context" in the editor.

Here's my code:

IEnumerator LerpCam(Camera c, Vector3 target, float length){
        float startTime = Time.time;
        while (Time.time < startTime + length) {
            c.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (c.transform.position, target, Time.deltaTime);
        }
    yield return null;
}

I have no idea what the problem is, and am able to use other things from the Generic collection without problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IEnumerator is in System.Collections and IEnumerator<T> is in System.Collections.Generic. So make sure you have the correct matching pair.
