Apparently, the several recent posts containing the solution to this
problem have somehow been lost in the vastness of Usenet.  The problem
is a mis-feature of RHIDE which hardcodes the name of the C++ library as
'-lstdcx' instead of '-lstdcxx'.  To fix it, do one of the following:

 - Copy (do not rename!) libstdcxx.a to libstdcx.a.  This will satisfy
RHIDE as well as the rest of the compiler tools.
 - Fix RHIDE by inserting the following line into
%DJDIR%/share/rhide/rhide.env (create this file if it does not already
exist):

RHIDE_TYPED_LIBS_DJGPP.cc=stdcxx

The next version of RHIDE will (presumably) have this fix hardcoded.

hth!
