Looks like you did something like `gpp myfirst.cpp -o myfirst.o', but
forgot the `-o'.

And then...

Hmm, those are two completely different error messages.  Even the
filename changed.

Can you show us the exact error message and, importantly, the exact
compile command that caused them?  Then someone can say what is wrong.


(Is there something about RHIDE that makes it difficult to post the
compile command causing errors?  I don't use RHIDE myself.  Anyway,
this seems a common problem.)
