ld.exe: cannot open crt0.o: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

You may notice above that RHIDE cannot find ld.exe, my linker. This is part
of my problem. After I compile a small program test.cpp (I've been testing
out RHIDE, because I'm switching compilers from MSVC++ to DJGPP) which is
below:

#include <iostream.h>

main ()
{

cout << "Hello, world.";
}

It compiles fine. No errors are found. But, when I try to link it I get the
message

ld.exe: cannot open crt0.o: No such file or directory (ENOENT)


I can't figure this out, I've even tried setting up my path variable so
that my c:\djgpp\bin\ directory is specified, so djgpp wouldn't have to go
looking for it. Anyway, this is problem #1.

The second comes from when I exit RHIDE after such a link, and try to
re-enter, RHIDE is gone! The rhide.exe executable has disappeared, and I
have to unzip the rhide13b.zip file again to get it back.

Please help me with this! I
'm new to DJGPP and RHIDE and don't know what to do!
