Hello

Classify this as "interesting" in the sense of the Chinese curse.

I've had djgpp gxx working for some time, but tried installing
djdev202.

First, I saved my info/dir and my djgpp.env files.

I rm'd the contents of djdev201 and pkunzip'd -d djdev202.

Then, attempting to compile a c++ program (Hello!) I got "Cannot
find library lgpp"

Per the faq, I assumed a problem with djgpp.env, so I copied my
old file, which had been working.  No Joy.

I removed djdev202 and unzipped djdev201 and got "gxx--command
not found."  Examining djdev202, I found a version of gxx, which
is why, when I rm'd djdev202 I no longer had gxx.

As a quick check, I unzipped gpp218b, recopied my old djgpp.env
and info/dir files.  JOY!

So I rm'd djdev201 AND gpp281b, unzipped djdev202 and gpp281b,
and copied my info/dir and djgpp.env files a third time.  JOY!

The culpret here seems to be the version of gxx.exe that is
included in djdev202.zip.

By unzipping djdev202 and then unzipping gpp281b, I can get the
correct behavior, but I'm wondering whether gxx.exe should be in
the djdev202 archive or not.

If this is already known and been discussed, then please pardon
my inability to correctly phrase my mail archive search.
