Why are you giving a C source a C++ extension?  RHIDE deteremines what
libs to link with, what stuff to throw on the command line, etc, by
it's filename extension.  Chage all your C Sources' names to .c
instead of .cpp and your headaches should go away.

If you ever want to compile C++ sources, tho, read 8.7 of the Faq, and
it'll tell you how to fix this known RHIDE/C++ Source issue.
