Any assistance ANYONE can offer me would be greatly appreciated and I hope
this matter is not too trivial.

I am a very green and uninitiated C++ programmer and would welcome some
advice on the following problem I am having.

I recently purchased Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 24 hours which came with
DJGPP on an accompanying CD . I assume that, since I followed the
installation instructions, I have all the necessary modules on my hard disk.

After creating a .cpp file extension, and typing in the required code for
Lesson 1 ( Hello World ), i managed to get to grips with the syntax for
running the compiler. At the DOS prompt I typed gxx s.cpp -o hw.exe. ( S
being the name I gave the text file and HW the name for the executable ).
The compiler then returned the following error message :-

 In file included from s.cpp:1:
 c:/djgpp/lang/cxx/iostream.h:31: streambuf.h : No such file or directory
 ENOENT )

Using find files, the file streambuf.h is located in c:\djgpp\lang\cxx and
also in the Chapter 1 folder of the exercise directory in the Sams folder.

 I am executing gxx in a dos prompt under windows. Should I do this in a
pure DOS session?? Also the s.cpp file is located on my desktop. Should this
be in the folder where streambuf.h  and iostream.h lie ??

 I look forward to having my problems solved soon so I can call myself a
fellow programmer ... .we ALL have to start somewhere ....
Thanks to all in advance.... STEVE
