This means you failed to link the C++ libraries.  Add "-lgpp" to the end
of your command line, or use 'gxx' instead of 'gcc' to compile C++
programs.

'-o' is used to tell gcc what file to output.  Try "gcc -o inledn.exe
inledn.cpp -lgpp".

BTW, this stuff is covered in 'readme.1st' and the FAQ (v2/faq210b.zip
or online at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/).
