-lgcc is not an error with GCC. It is an error that a file cannot be found.
Specifically, LIB[name].A, so libgcc.a. -lgcc is a command to add a library,
and you may use it yourself - it's partly a command-line option and partly a
filename.

Ummm. just wondering, why did you add all these GCC directories to the path.
Only the "BIN" directory needs to be added. In fact, all (er, most) of the
others don't have executable files in them at all.

There is only one possability that I can think of for this fault. The most
likely answer is that you are using outdated tools. Did you unzip
GCC2721B.ZIP as one of your installation files, or did you take GCC281B.ZIP?
281 uses a new directory storage scheme which appears to have ruined the
previous version of GCC. The LIB file is stored under that long LIB\GCC-LIB
directory and old versions of GCC never bothered to look there, hence the
error. If this is your problem, run the following from C:\Djgpp to erase the
first version (if you get an error, it should be ok to skip this step):

rm @manifest\gcc2721b.mft

Download V2GNU/GCC281B.ZIP from your FTP site and unzip it like the rest of
the ZIPs.
