Sure, that's backwards.  The correct command line is this:

	gcc -o man.exe man.cc -lgpp

The string immediately after -o is the file where you want your
output; you don't want the output to overwrite the source in man.cc,
do you?

Also, please read the file v2/readme.1st (available at the same site
where you get DJGPP): it includes some examples of compilation command
lines.  In particular, when linking C++ programs, it recommends using
gxx instead of gcc, because gxx searches all the relevant C++
libraries (-lgpp is only one of them) and will prevent you from
getting error messages from the linker saying that it didn't find some
functions.
