And I solved it late last night- see the thread "unknown link problem" In case you miss that one, here is the relevant part: Message-ID: <35814b5d DOT 1818081 AT news DOT cis DOT yale DOT edu> I eventually solved this one- it was a long file name problem- libstdcxx.a was what the linker wanted, but could only look for a 8.3 letter version. So I merely renamed a duplicate libstdcx.a. This happened despite having long file names enabled in djgpp.env- perhaps there is a Rhide option too? At any rate, having a duplicate is no prob- it is only a bit over 600k, and will negate the possibility of encountering the reverse problem. I think the problem came about because on one machine I used pkunzip (which I guess clips long filenames), on the offending machine I used WinZIP- and winzip maintained the long file name! That is the theory I'll go on unless otherwise informed. >No I am not using RHIDE with djgpp. The only add ons that I downloaded >were Allegro and GRX. GRX I have not used yet though, just allegro. Rhide is great- despite some nebulous bugs I think I am seeing. Most notable bugs of the moment- it simply doesn't pay attention to preferences I set (matched brackets, spaces-not-tabs, etc.). Also, the "copy from/to windown clipboard" is unreliable. And there are some features I'd like to see- like not having the options files be so original-directory specific, so any time I copy a project to a new computer I don't have all the root-referenced directory problems. (MSVC's developer is good like that- no matter where you drop a project, it is ready to compile). But I often keep Rhide up at the same time as I am doing MSVC programming- I like the libc references, and I like the way it highlights keywords, I like it's calculator.
