I recently decided to move to C (from BASIC). I have donloaded rhide and
djgpp.
When I write a program (even a VERY simple one) and attempt to run it,
nothing happens.

It says that it is compiling and my HD reads/writes for a few seconds, but
nothing happens and have to press ctrl-break to get out of it. On doing
this it says "there were errors"

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
 printf("Hello World!\n");
 exit(0);
}

As you can see I am very new to C and decided to go about learning the
*correct* way, as opposed to my learning BASIC.

As well as this Rhide cannot locate it's help files although I am pretty
sure that the files needed are there.

I don't think it is just me being impatient and not waiting for it to
compile as I have sat and waited for in excess of 10 minutes!

Can someone PLEASE help me.

Much appreciated C.Roche
