You should put a meaningful subject on your posts.

Ok. So now you have a mix of gcc 3.something and gcc 2.95.2. That is
not helping. Even more things are broken now.

No.

So you can compile C programs but not C++?

That's hard. But remember that your program is incorrect. You should
get warnings and errors from it. If not, then the C++ compiler is
broken.

I don't understand what you mean with "other readers".

: SET RSXNTDJ=C:\RSXNTDJ

You're using RSXNTDJ. Why if you only want to learn C++? Remove
RSXNTDJ from the path.
: SET C_INCLUDE_PATH=%RSXNTDJ%\include\win32\anders
This one isn't doing any good either.
1. First make sure that DJGPP had a chance of working properly (that
means removing RSXNTDJ).
2. Considering all your tinkering, remove the whole DJGPP istallation
as well and reinstall it.
3. Don't mix gccXb.zip with gppYb.zip, where X != Y. Decide which
version you'll use and stick with that.
3a. If you want to do proper C++ (as near the standard of today as
possible), you want to use X (in 3.) as high as possible, which means
31 today.
3b. If you insist on using broken C++ according to your post above,
use X < 3<something>. 2952 should be possible.
4. Don't move around headers. They should be where they are. Moving
them will only break things more.
After this, post back with what you installed, how your AUTOEXEC.BAT
looks now, your test program(s) and what errors you're getting.
Right,
