sorry the first time i thought it was a new topic, and the second time i didn't know the first one was taken down, just thought it didn't post for some reason. the error i get exactly in code::bocks is telling me, after pushing the build/step into/debug button, that "fatal error: .h: no such file or directory" and pointing a little red thing at the include statement as if the included file is nowhere to be found. but the file is right there under headers in the tree on the left side of the screen??
