I am at my wit's end here!

I downloaded all of the files that were given by the Zip Picker yesterday,
and installed them all. I tried compiling a "Hello World" program, and DJGPP
wouldn't co-operate. Here is the source for the program...

#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)
{
 cout << "Hello World!!\n";
 return (0);
}

When I try compiling it without an IDE, gcc gives the following output...

c:/djgpp/tmp/ccaaaaaa1.o(.text+0x19):hello.cpp: undefined reference to
`cout'
c:/djgpp/tmp/ccaaaaaa1.o(.text+0x1e):hello.cpp: undefined reference to
`ostream::operator<<(char const *)'

And when I try compiling it within RHIDE I get this...

Creating: hello.exe
Error: c:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: cannot open -lstdcx: No such file or directory
(ENOENT)
There were some errors

If I try the same thing but instead use STDIO.H and printf, the program
works fine.

I'm quite sure that this is some sort of LFN problem, but I just got
DJVERIFY, ran it and the only problem it reported was a moderate shortage of
memory. I also have searched through the FAQ, and the only thing that looks
like it would help would be disabling the numeric tail, and then
reinstalling the C++ headers/libs, but I no longer have the file. Could I
just disable the numeric tail and rename the libstdcxx.a?? But I don't think
this will do anything; the libstdcxx.a isn't a 8 letter filename, so DJGPP
shouldn't be having trouble with it as a result of being mangled with a
tail. So what can I do?

I've included the output of DJVERIFY (the system report)

Can anyone help me?
