I have been doing this: START -> All Programs -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environmental Variables -> Then I select Path and and EDIT and modify the Variable Value to look like: " %SYSTEMROOT%\system32;c:\jdk1.3.1_01\bin;%SYSTEMROOT%;%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\ WBEM;E:\MSPUBL~1\Office;C:\DJGPP\BIN; " (minus the quotes) Then I clicked new and in the variable Name I typed : " DJGPP " (minus the quotes) and in the Variable value I added " C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.env " (minus the quotes) Then I typed up a small C program: " /* This program prints the message ANSI--A kinder and gentler C: to the video Display */ #include main() { printf( "ANSI--A kinder and gentler C!\n" ); } " And tried compiling it ( C:\C>gcc first.c ) and I get: 'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Any Ideas to a newbie what's going on? -- Robert Richmond Return email address : robertrichmond-NOSPAM- AT bigpond DOT com
