I'm trying to install v2.  It isn't working:

C:\DJGPP>cat nothing.cc

main() {}

C:\DJGPP>gcc nothing.cc
c:/djgpp/lib/libc.a: could not read symbols: File format not recognized

C:\DJGPP>cd lib

C:\DJGPP\LIB>nm libc.a > t:\delete.me  /* ignore stdout */
c:/djgpp/bin/nm.exe: ct_flags.o: File format not recognized
c:/djgpp/bin/nm.exe: libc.a: Malformed archive


I have re-downloaded the zips, used two different unzip progs, and
attrib +r'ed the lib directory before using the compiler to prevent
mangling, with no luck.  I am using cwsdpmi, and calling "setdjgpp
c:\djgpp c:/djgpp" in autoexec.bat.  I believe I am running in DOS;
I have Win95 installed, but I have "BootGUI=0" in my msdos.sys, so
Win95 doesn't really get started.  I have stripped my config.sys
and autoexec.bat to the bare minimums with still no luck.

Does anybody have any ideas?
