I tried doing gcc -o hello.exe hello.o and it said C:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\bin>gcc -o hello.exe hello.o GCC.EXE: installation problem, cannot exec `ld': No such file or directory any ideas now? Also, gcc C and g++ C++? Brandon - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
