Hi, Tried that already. I think it's kaput or something. I went ahead and downloaded mingw last night after discovering that Eclipse was just an IDE and didn't come with a compiler the way vc ++ did. It was late though so, I forgot to add c:=mingw=bin to the path so, I'll be doing that tonight. Hopefully, I'll be able to compile using that. I just want something uncomplicated I can use as a learning tool. Once I've got a few programs under my belt, I'll wrestle with microsoft's beastie again. Seems eclipse is more accessible too. Any thoughts? Alex On 6/28/10, RicksPlace <ofbgmail@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi: I am clueless and taking a wild guess. Try Building the project under > the Build menu then running the project.
