	That's your problem right there. You can install MinGW wherever you
want (although it's probably best to avoid spaces in the path), but
you *must* install gdc to the *same* folder. Then add c:\mingw\bin
to the path if it didn't do it (can't remember, it's been a while
since I installed it), and you should be set. There should be no
need to set any other environment variable (at least, I didn't and
it works for me).
