I am trying to learn C++ programming and have downloaded and installed the DJGPP and rhide (and some other) .ZIP files suggested by the ZIP picker, and added the PATH statements in config.sys. These are the files I installed (in c:\djgpp\): alleg312.zip bnu2112b.zip djdev203.zip faq230b.zip fil40s.zip gcc2953b.zip gpp2953b.zip grx243s.zip mak3791b.zip rh1478b.zip rsxdj151.zip txi40b.zip My problem is that I can't compile anything, including my first "Hello World" program. I get an error message "... illegal operation and will be terminated ... invalid page exception, fault location: 0028:65742F65 ..." This message comes up when trying to compile from rhide or from the DOS command line with gpp. I've tried making a "protected memory" DOS prompt, but it doesn't help. I'm running W98SE with 384MB RAM, PIII550, not much of anything running in the Windows background. I don't know much about DOS, but I'm guessing this is a memory allocation problem(?) and probably isn't DJGPP-specific. I haven't had trouble running any other DOS programs, though, in a window or not. Any help would be appreciated! -------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Kennedy brk AT eclipse DOT net
