From the DOS prompt, use gxx instead of gcc when compiling C++ programs.  
This is explained in the Getting Started section of the file README.1ST 
(in the same place where you get djdev201.zip) and also in section 8.7 of 
the DJGPP FAQ list.

(Don't know about RHIDE, but it should be automatic with it.  Try calling 
your source concom.cc and see if that helps.)

Please make a point of posting at least part of the error messages when 
you report problems.  It is very hard to guess the cause without seeing 
the messages.  Posting the code would be also nice.

DOS won't allow the `+' character is a filename, so you get gxx instead 
of g++.
