Hi everyone,

        I recently downloaded DJGPP v2.01 from a local Simtel mirror and I 
can't get it to work at all.  I downloaded the following zips for win95 use:

alleg22.zip
bccgrx20.zip
bnu281b.zip
djdev201.zip
faq210b.zip
gcc2721b.zip
gpp2721b.zip
grx22.zip
lgp271b.zip
mak3761b.zip
rhide14b.zip
txi390b.zip

        After unzipping all of these to c:\djgpp (with subdirectories) I did 
SET DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV and SET PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;... as per the 
instructions.
Then I ran RHIDE, and tried to "Run" the test program/project hello.c.  But 
the IDE froze at compilation.
I thought that this was a problem with RHIDE but also if I run GCC from the 
commmandline: (In a DOS box)

GCC -o hello.exe hello.c it freezes (I can escape only by closing down the DOS 
box).

I've tried rebooting is DOS mode using CWSDPMI (sp?) and no better results.  
Is my GCC just screwed up has anyone else had this kind of problem.

        I posted this problem before and was told to give debugging info from 
RHIDE but obviously this isn't a RHIDE problem and RHIDE freezes anyhow.  Any 
help would be appreciated. 

                                        Thanx in advance
