To compile C++ programs:

  - Download and install the C++ packages (gpp2721b.zip and
lgp271b.zip).
  - Name your programs with a valid C++ extension (.C, .cc, .cpp).
  - Use 'gxx' to compile your programs, or add the C++ libraries
(-liostr, -lstdcx) manually.

If those steps don't work, something is wrong with your configuration. 
Please read chapter 6 of the DJGPP Frequently Asked Question list to
find comprehensive answers, and see chapter 6.12 for information on how
to properly send a system report so we can figure out what's wrong.
