Hello everybody!

I found this code on the net. It seems to have worked for everybody except for me. Most of the errors say there is some linking error. I am using dev c++ 5. I would like to know if the problem is with my compiler or the program.

You can download it on http://www.codeproject.com/KB/library/ProjectEliza.aspx#_comments" .

I am not sure if I should be pasting the entire code here. But you feel it's a better alternative, I'll surely do that.

Thanks for the help.

I cannot download the code, because you need to login and I don't feel like registering.
But if you get linker errors, you probably need to link some library too. Perhaps it would help if you copy/pasted the relevant part from the log here, i.e. where it gives the errors and maybe some lines around it to give them context.
 
Thanks CompuChip for checking that link out. But I'm giving up on this one. I am finding it really hard to compile a program written by some other programmer. Thanks for the help anyway!
