In the file %DJDIR%/share/rhide/rhide.env, add a line

RHIDE_TYPED_LIBS_DJGPP.cc=stdcxx

-- if you don't have %DJDIR%/share/rhide/rhide.env, create it.

I guess you have gcc 2.8.0 or 2.8.1 but didn't install the gpp281b.zip
or didn't remove your old `specs´ and/or `djgpp.djl´ file(s) from
%DJDIR%/lib.

If you say "gcc x.cc", you code is compiled as C++, but none of the
standard C++ libraries is included (especially not libstdcxx.a). Try
using a line like 

	cout << "Hello world!" << endl;

and gcc will complain that it can't find the library.

If you don't find the reason for your problem, create a Bug Report with
RHIDE (on the "-" menu in the left corner) and post it here.
