The problem is a mis-feature of RHIDE which hardcodes the name of the
C++ library as '-lstdcx' instead of '-lstdcxx'.  The workaround is to
copy (not rename) the library, as suggested.  The fix (at least until
the next version of RHIDE) is to insert the following line into
%DJDIR%/share/rhide/rhide.env (create this file if it does not already
exist):

RHIDE_TYPED_LIBS_DJGPP.cc=stdcxx

hth!
