Here we go again : GCC ( which implicitly includes G++ ) is made for a computer with 32-bit integers and at least 1 meg of contigous memory. Since a PC has 16 bit integers and it can only adress 1 meg with almost half taken by display card and os this will never happen. You want to use c++ on a pc - well there is something called Zortech C++. Otherwise you might consider an Atari ST, it can be persuaded to run G++, it runs GCC today.
