You seem to have an old v1.x distribution around somewhere, and you are
calling its 'gcc', not v2's.  Check your PATH environment variable, and
delete any references to older DJGPP bin directories.  For that matter,
you can probably delete v1.x altogether, unless you really REALLY need
it around for compatibility.

If you made the (common) mistake of unzipping v2 over top of your old
v1.x distribution, then you have to delete everything and start over-
the two are not compatible.

However, v2 CAN run old v1.x programs, if you supply it with a copy of
the 'go32.exe' from v1.x.  The FAQ (v2/faq201b.zip from your favorite
SimTel mirror) describes how to do this in section 22.12.

In fact, the best command line to use for all compiles in general is

gcc -Wall -g -O -o test test.c

Of course, replace test and test.c with the actual names of your
programs.

However, that didn't appear to be his problem.

It does not, but I wrote a new version of 'whence' using DJGPP v2 a
couple
of months ago.  It works almost identically to the Unix version, AFAIK.
If you want the code, I can email it to you - it's quite small.  Please
specify binary, source, or both.
