I have recently started to learn programming (in general not just C++).  I
downloaded the djgpp compiler and am using the RHIDE ver 1.4 portion of it
to type in my very basic programs.  If I click on "compile" on the top menu
bar and then "compile" from the menu it converts my programs to .cpp files
without errors.  But it runs into trouble when I select "Link".  It comes
back c:/djgpp/bin/id.exe can not open -lstdcx: no such file or directory
exists.

I can create a .exe from a .cpp program if I go to DOS and manually type
"gxx myfile.cpp -o myfile.exe -lst".  I have added the paths and read the
FAQ regarding this problem but didn't exactly understand the solution.  Can
anybody offer another explanation to the "no such file or directory exists"
problem.

Thanks
