I'm still unable to get my program to run in rhide.  It's a simple
program that uses allegro.  So, I've deleted and totally
re-installed djgpp and rhide and allegro.

I've found that if I run the program in rhide with ctrl F9 and have
no breakpoints, the program runs to completion and all is well.

But, if I put a breakpoint on the first executable line in main and
run it I get the following error:
   Program has received a signal:  SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.

If I try to run my program (after compiling from the command line
or with RHIDE) with rhgdb, it crashes early in the program and the
messages scroll by too fast for me to know what happened.  But in
rhgdb it crashes whether I try to use a breakpoint or just run the
program.

I can run the program from dos just fine.

I'm doing this on an old 486sx laptop and of course there is no
FPU.  Is there something I have to do to tell rhide that I don't
have an FPU?  I don't really know this is the problem but it's all
that I can think of

I've also tried ex1.c, the first example program that comes with
allegro and I have exactly the same results with it.  It works fine
from the command line but run with a breakpoint or with F4 in
rhide, I get the arithmetic exception.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Barry
