Well, I included it to use the outportb() function, to set some VGA registers. I suppose I could use Allegro's set_color() to achieve the same. > Post the smallest source file that exhibits this error. I was able to detect and fix the problem: I had installed GNU's version of Ada (GNAT?) after DJGPP. The GNAT installation program altered my PATH environment variable so that its own path came *before* that of DJGPP. This meant that when I was trying to run GCC.EXE, it was running the copy that came with Ada, and not that which accompanied DJGPP. Once I reversed the order of the directories in my PATH statement, my C files compiled and linked without error. Some future warning of such a situation may be warranted in the DJGPP documentation, if it does not already exist. Supertheta
