You do have some rather obsolete versions of the tools. Rhide might be
expecting newer versions, since you have a newer version of it than of most
of the other tools. Get:

bnu281b GNU binutils 2.8.1 for DJGPP V2
djdev202 Development Kit and Runtime
gcc281b GNU GCC 2.8.1 for DJGPP V2
gpp281b GNU G++ 2.8.1 for DJGPP V2 (no libs)
mak377b GNU Make 3.77 binaries for DJGPP V2
lgp281b GNU libg++ 2.8.1 for DJGPP V2

IIRC.

Also, are you planning to use libg++? It's not the standard C++ library
with the iostreams and container classes and such; that's libstdc++ and
comes with gpp281b.zip. libg++ is an old, obsolete nonstandard GNU library
of container classes and string classes that was useful before the C++
standard was finalized and the standard template library was added to the
standard iostreams. It also has more restrictive licensing on its use than
do libstdc++ and the standard C library libc.

If you don't plan to use libg++, then you may as well chuck it and save
disk space.
