I am using the "rice binaries" on Win2000 on very simple programs, but I
can't get RHIDE to work properly. I've downloaded version RHIDE 1.4.9.1, Jan
28, 2002 build. The documentation says that this version of RHIDE was
rebuilt with the "rice binaries".

The RHIDE editor works fine. The Alt-F9 compile issues the proper compile
command "gcc -g -c xxx.cpp -o xxxx.o". However, I can't tell that the
compiler actually did anything. The output window simply says that the
compile didn't work - no error messages or anything.

One other thing: I can't get a DOS window open when I click File->Dos shell.
This may be the problem - that it can't open a subshell within which to
execute the gcc compiler?

Is there a well known, easy solution to this problem?
