Hi, when I try to link a file, I get the following error:

(from the DOS prompt, using gcc or gxx)
                 c:\djgpp\bin_2/ld.exe: cannot find -lgcc

(from RHIDE)
                 Creating: myprogram.exe
                 Error:  C:\DJGPP\BIN_2/ld.exe: cannot find -lstdcxx

This is on Windows 95, Rhide version 1.4, and DJGPP version 2.03.  The long
file names and directory stucture were maintained when I decompressed the
files.  I downloaded them using the zip picker at the Delorie site so I
think they're complete.

I've read all the documentation I've found and nothing helped--the djgpp.env
file is in order, the autoexec has the path specified (I cut and pasted the
path set command directly from the DJGPP FAQ), and the ld.exe file is there.
The only modification I've made so far is the addition of lines to the
autoexec file.  After adding the 2 recommended ones:

         set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
         set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%

and getting an error message about the program not finding files, I added a
few more.  Here are the names of the files that the program couldn't find
and the path commands that I added.

         File not found    |       Line added to fix it
         gcc.exe -------------set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN_1;%PATH%
         cpp.exe -------------set
PATH=C:\DJGPP\lib_1\gcc-lib\djgpp\2.952;%PATH%
         as.exe---------------set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN_2;%PATH%
         cc1plus.exe----------set
PATH=C:\DJGPP\lib_4\gcc-lib\djgpp\2.952;%PATH%


Thank you very, very much in advance,
Charles
