When I compile my program, gcc says ``Segmentation violation'' and prints all kinds of funny numbers and registers.

I get errors I can't figure out when I try to compile something.

Add the -v switch to the gcc command line, add topline to your GO32 environment variable, and run it again. It will print all the programs it is running, and the topline will show you some more info on what's going on. Then you can see which program caused the error, or where does your machine crash. This might give you a clue on what's wrong.
