	I have downloaded & installed DJGPP 3 times. Everytime I get the same error message!

	gcc.exe: installation problem, cannot exec "cpp": No such file or directory (ENOENT)

	The command line just previous to this was "gcc -c -g hello.c"

	I'm trying to simply test it out with the simple "Hello World" program, but it says there are
installation errors.

	A)Yes, I've read the FAQ.
	B)Yes, I've read & installed w/ frequent references to readme.1st
	C)Yes, my unzipper is LFN compliant.

	Specs: AMD K6-2 350mhz w/ 64MB RAM & 17GB HDD. Win98. Installation directory is: "E:/DEV/DJGPP/".

Does running in DOS-window affect this? 
	i.e. Do I need to reboot into DOS?


	The unzipper makes numerous folders under the root DJGPP folder, is this good, bad or dependant on
which folders?  
	I asked this since I read somewhere that it should all be unzipped into /DJGPP. One reference
seemed to indicate that this was to let the unzipper handle to directory structure for you, the
other that all files were to belong in one directory. I have no idea which to believe.

	I hope this is enough info. Please eMail me as well as respond to the group; I don't check the
group that often.
