Then you should ask your teacher why he is teaching outdated C++.

There were some problems running programs built with libc 2.03 before
the refresh. After the refresh most (if not all) of these problems are
corrected. If gcc 2.9.X was built with a refreshed libc, it'll
probably work, if not it will probably crash. 

I'm not sure about the date when this refresh happened but I think it
was December 2001. So check the date of the gcc and gpp you're using.

Yes and no. cc1 and cc1plus have moved. (Do a find files and you
should find them _somewhere_. Let them stay where you found them!)

However as and ld should be there (and perhaps gasp).

: these are the files that i unzipped in one folder in drice C:

bnu*b.zip is missing.

: PS sorry for the long email...

It's ok. It's better to give too much information then too little. And
all you said was relevant.


Right,
