Actually, i had the same problem, and after inspecting the files in the 
archive libgplus.zip, it seems that the file LIBGPLUS.INF is in DOS 
(CR/LF) format. In other words running DTOU.EXE on the file will fix the 
problem. I can't figure how more people didn't run into this 
problem, and i just wanted to direct someone towards the problem. I ftp'd 
my archives from oak.oaklan.edu if it helps.
