This is an incompatibility between RHIDE and G++ 2.8.x. You can fix it by
adding the line

RHIDE_TYPED_LIBS_DJGPP.cc=stdcxx

to $DJDIR/share/rhide/rhide.env, where $DJDIR is your DJGPP directory. If
your file is called something other than *.cc, you may need to add
additional lines of the same form, replacing `cc' with `cpp' or whatever.

As a workaround, you can also copy $DJDIR/lib/libstdcxx.a to
$DJDIR/lib/libstdcx.a (two x's to one). Leave the original in place, though,
or other things will break.

FAQ chapter 8 has the answers to many of them, but this one is too new to be
in it.
