General Protection Exception: DJGPP

[Pedro U. Delgado V.]

I've downloaded and installed the compiler for C/C++ programs for DOS
(DJGPP) and when i try to run a program appears an error message saying
in Details "General Proteccion Exception" and suggest me to close all
programs and re-initializate the computer. I don't know how to fix this
problem, if someone can give me the solution or tell me if there is
another compiler that i can download for dos i'll appreciate too much
because i need it for an school project.
Thank you!!

Did you try running DJGPP under plain DOS (MS-DOS mode)?

Stephan's right, Pedro. You can get a gpf only when Windows is running.

Thanks both, I've tried to run DJGPP in MS-DOS in plain text mode, and now
I've received the next:

Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV
Page fault at eip=00008365, error=0006
eax=00000000 ebx=00000005 eix=000fe41edx=0008ff04 esi=00000000
edi=0000000a ebp=0008fe80 esp=0008fe08 program=D:\LIST.EXE
... (I don´t know if all the subsecuent numbers are necesary for this).

I hope you can help me.

SIGSEGV = SIGnal SEGmentation Violation. This is the *NIX name for GPF.

This error is generated by a software conflict or a memory error.

Try to avoid loading any memory manager (like EMM386) from CONFIG.SYS.
You may try to perform a clean boot (do not process CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT) to pinpoint the problem.
