Read the readme.1st file from the djgpp distribution, you need to make sure that
you add the lines to your autoexec.bat files.  Make sure this is added (assuming
c:\djgpp is your default directory) at the end of your autoexec.bat

SET PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%
SET DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV

Hopefully that solves your problems.. if not, reply with more specific error
messages, and try compiling that program from the command line instead of with
RHIDE:

gcc -o test.exe test.c

If that works, it's a problem with RHIDE, not DJGPP itself.

Thanks,
Brian
