Installation Problems with GNU-WIN32

 I am new to GNU (sorry about 
that). I am planning to take Jesse Liberty's class on C++ at ZD University. I 
run Win95 on a P-166 Intel box with 24Meg RAM. I am also using MS IE4.0.  I 
have followed the install directions to the best of my ability including set the 
path setting and the environment variables.  I have installed version 18 
(or is it 1.8?). 
I get this message: "GCC.EXE: 
installation problem, cannot exec 'cpp'. No such file or directory. I know that 
that is supposed to mean I have not set the GCC_EXEC_PREFIX variable correctly. 
However, when I run SET I can see this (among all the other variables) 
"GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=D:\gnuwin32\b18\H-i386-cygwin32\lib\gcc-lib\.
So, I am stumped. I have searched 
various places for help but cannot get beyond the basic directions.  Can 
someone tell me where to look (or exactly what is wrong)?
TIA.....Jeff Smathers
