Hey, thanks man! Thanks to that -v suggestion i finally seem to be getting
somewhere. Here is what it says when i try to compile something:

gcc version 3.1

End of search list.

-lgcc -lc -lc_app -lc -lgcc -lemx -los2 -lemx2
c:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lc_alias

It seems to be some kind of path problem. It seemed to be looking for header
files in C:/djgpp/djgpp/include, while the actual files are in
C:/djgpp/include. When i put the include directory under C:/djgpp/djgpp/ by
creating another djgpp folder and moving the include folder in it, it will
actually compile (Yippee!), but some other stuff wont work (Like Rhide).
Could this problem be the result of having two different compilers installed
on my computer (DJGPP and RSXNT)?? And does anyone know of a decent way to
fix this??
