This reply solved my own queery and I thought I might add to it a little 
cos surely I'm not alone in missing the SPECS file editing.

The docs clearly point out the rsxntdj\lib\SPEC file must be altered if 
you install RSXNTDJ into a different directory structure than the one 
described, however some of us not so experienced have missed the 
importance of the DRIVE (in this case f:) because we are used to the % 
symbol being used in place of the hard coding.

ANYWAY, in case others have misplaced the drive lettering, here is the 
detail.

In the SPECS. file appears the following:-

*asm:


*asm_final:


*cpp:
%{posix:-D_POSIX_SOURCE} %{Zmt: -D__MT__} %{Zdll: -D__DLL__} %{Zcrtdll*:-
D__CRTRSXNT__}\
%{Zwin32: -D__WIN32__ -D__RSXNT__ -D__EMX__ -If:/rsxntdj/include}
                                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
*cc1:


*cc1plus:


*endfile:


*link:
%{Zwin32: -Lf:/rsxntdj/lib/all}
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I mistook the "-If" to represent (IF) and never considered (dumbly) the 
"f" was the drive label.

Clearly it is and just as clearly I felt a goose, however the facts 
remain I battled for days with the installation when the answer was 
there in front of me..

My new SPECS. file has the "f" replaced with a "d" and rsxntdj is 
running smoothly...

A public THANKYOU to all involved in this project and may the gods bless 
you with great riches...
