i am having a really hard time getting djgpp up and running.
when i try and pass the following command to gcc.exe

    gcc -v myfirst.cc -o myfirst.exe

i get some stuff on the screen that lists dirs being searched
for the #included file(iostream.h). when the compiler gets to
the instructions like:

    cout << "hello\n";

i get an 'undefined reference to cout' and 'undefined reference
to ostream' messages. it appears the compiler cannot find the
iostream.h header file.

i should mention:

    1. djgpp was installed to the directory d:\djgpp (including
       files: djdev201.zip, bnu27b.zip, gcc2721b.zip, gpp2721b.zip,
       lgp271b.zip.)

    2. i have included the line: {set DJGPP=d:\djgpp\djgpp.env}
       to my autoexec.bat file(without the braces)

    3. the iostream.h file is in the d:\djgpp\lang\cxx dir, and
       when i run gcc.exe with the -v option, it tells me it
       searches that dir.

i havent seen anything about this in the docs, so i hope someone
knows how to fix this

this is *not* a dpmi problem; it occurs while using win 3.x *or*
win 3.x

here is the listing for myfirst.cc (without the lines):
--------------------------------
#include <iostream.h>
int main(void)
{
  cout << "hello\n";
  return 0;
}
--------------------------------

if you know what the prob is id really like to know.
thanks :-)
