If you are doing this on any platform but Windows 9X, just ignore this 
error.  g++.exe is only for Windows 9X users.  On other platforms, use 
gpp.exe or gxx.exe instead.

If you *are* working on Windows 9X, then this error means that you 
unzipped the files with a program which doesn't support long file names.  
You should re-unzip using a program which does, or else you will have 
various problems with libraries and header files which GCC won't find 
(because on Windows 9X it looks for them using long names).
