Thank you for the answer. I proved it but I get the same problem again.
I'm going to explain all the packets I've installed, perhaps I did a wrong
installation or I'm not using the correct packets.

        DJGPP            Version 2.01
        RSXNTDJ       Version 1.3.1

I'm working with Windows 95.

I want to develop aplications to access database information using CLI, a call
level interface that has a set of functions that enable to access data from
different kinds of databases. For that purpose I need to use a set of DLL´s as
odbc32.dll.
All the DLL´s are in c:\windows\system, and I put this directory on the
enviroment variable PATH, as you tell me, but I get the same problem. This is
the sequence of instrucctions I use to compile:

    gcc -Zwin32 -Wall -c -o c1.o c1.c   ------> It goes well

    gcc -Zwin32 -Wall -o c1.exe c1.o    ------> Error

I get errors like theses:

    c1.o(.text+0x1a2);c1.c:undefined reference to '_iob'
    c1.o(.text+0x1a2);c1.c:undefined reference to 'SQLFreeEnv'  --->
SQLFreeEnv is a CLI function.

I would like to know if there is a problem with RSXIDE. I try to work with it
but when I try to click make I get the same error:
                makefile is used, wait

I read that to work with RSXIDE it is needed something named NT09B. Could this
be the problem?

Thank you in advanced
