Hi Victor,
VK> I have jsut installed DJGPP
congratulations on choosing the right compiler (for DOS anyway..) ;=)
VK> and I it is giving me an error, I don't want to spend much time digging
VK> through all the docs,  I just need to compile something.
Hmm.. better read 'em anyway - you won't get too far without them.  DJGPP
is a great system, but great systems are rarely simple.
VK> This is what gcc says when I run it:
VK>   gcc.exe: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or 
VK>   directory (ENOENT)
VK> I can't find any files called 'as.exe' or anything, is it meant to be 
VK> there or is it trying to execute a typo error or something?

If you unpacked everything properly, you should have it in the bin directory,
same place as gcc, make, etc.   If it's not there, you need to get the rest
of the files (either as*.zip or binutils*.zip - can't remember now).  If 
you've
got it there, then you just need to set up your environment by running the 
.BAT
file which is also in the bin directory.  Best bet is to CALL it from 
autoexec.bat.  If I remember correctly, you need to SET DJGPP="" where
 is the directory containing the bin directory - probably SET 
DJGPP="c:\djgpp".   Read the docs - it's all in there.
P.S.: If you want to do games/graphics, get your hands on the Allegro library 
-
it should be available wherever you got DJGPP.
Later,
- Lee
