If you unzip the DJGPP packages correctly, preserving the directory
structure, then all libraries, headers, and executables will go in the
correct place and you should NOT need to move or change anything.

First, make sure that you have set the DJGPP environment variable
correctly as instructed in the 'readme.1st' file.

Second, make sure that you are compiling your program as C++.  gcc
automatically recognizes files with the .C, .cc, and .cpp extensions as
C++, and compiles them accordingly.  Case is important!

Third, if your problem is that the C++ libraries aren't being linked,
then you forgot to add them to the gcc command line.  Either add
'-liostream' to the end of your gcc command line, or use the 'gxx'
program instead of gcc to compile C++ code.
