Hello folks...
I am completly new to c++ programming, and i decided to start out with djgpp
and some basic tutorials...
So I downloaded the most recent distribution of DJGPP from the official
homepage using Zip-Picker.
after installation in solving the first compilation problems i had to face
the same problem as discussed here.
When trying to link the following program

#inlcude <iostream.h>
int main (void) {
cout << "Hello World";
return 0;
}

the linker returns the following messages
Creating: aout.exe
Error: test.o: In function 'main':
test.cpp(3) Error: undefined reference to 'cout'
Error: test.cpp(.text+0x27): undefined reference to
'ostream::operator<<(char const*)'
Error: test.o(.eh_frame+0x11):test.cpp: undefined reference to
'___gxx_personality_v0'
Error: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
There were some errors

The prior compilation process works fine...
After having read this news thread I thought I could fix that by moving that
mentioned file libstcxx.a somewhere else...
So I searched for it.. and oops... it isnt there...
mhhm... now I am quite sure that i d/l ed all files suggested by zip-picker,
and I have them all installed...
When trying to compile a prog that does not employ iostream.h everything
works flawlessly...
I think I could solve that myself´, but I am simply not skilled enough in
c++. So I have to ask the experts in this NG.
What the hecks going on there...? I suppose it is a file missing... where
can I obtain this file?... Of course I could be wrong...
Hope you dont feel bothered by such simple newbie questions...

thanks in advance
manuel

p.s.: some additional information: OS: win xp, using rhide, environment
variables correctly set, the programm has been saved to test.cpp
