Hmm... Humor me for a minute and try this:

	Switch to the DJGPP\LIB subdirectory
	Type:
		REN libstd~1.a libstdcx.a
		("The '~' is a tilde, not a hyphen)
	Try compiling your program again.  Did it work this time?

If that fixed things, you had the same problem I did: the linker refuses
to recognize libstdcxx.a, because it's a long file name ("libstdcxx"
consists of more than 8 characters).  Renaming the file to "libstdcx.a"
makes it a regular DOS 8.3 file name.  I have no idea why this causes a
problem for only a few people, and the majority has no trouble at all,
but there you have it....
