Hi,

A few days ago i decided to take the plunge and try to master the C (and 
possibly the C++) language. With a lot of good intentions and with great 
confidence i found a good tutorial. Trough this tutorial i stumbled on 
the DJGPP-site which was gonna supply me with my C compiler. I was so 
happy, so relieved, it was a heavenly moment.......

BUT NOW...... NOW,
Now i'm a few days down the road, i have read nearly every FAQ, every 
info document and nearly all the posting in the news group and i still 
can't get it to work. I'm totally down, depressed, disillusioned....
So the last thing i could think of was to write to you, you see how you 
are my only hope at a glimps of light at the end of the tunnel, my 
saviour, my last resort........

No but seriously ;)

I got the DJGPP package including RHIDE a few days ago and unpacked it 
to my directory C:\ruben\djgpp. I'm using Win95 and i have a 200 cpu ( 
so that ought to be enough )

Here's my first question, if i unpack all the zips in the directory they 
are in at that time all of the zips create their own directory 4ex. 
faq211b, em1934l2 etc, whilst if i unpack them from an other directory 
to the DJGPP one there's directory for all of them including a bin and 
lib etc.
Which one of the two results is the best?

Secondly, if i run gcc it gives me the following error

installation problem, cannot exec 'as': No such file or directory 
(ENOENT)

I can't find the reason for this problem, i did follow all off the 
instructions such as altering my autoexec and making sure LFN is set to 
Y in DJGPP.env. Or did i miss something?

Can someone enlighten me?

4ever grateful,
