Problem with Quick C 2.0, from novice user

[bridge at max.u.washington.edu]

Recently I upgraded from Quick C 1.1 to Quick C 2.0.  I am a novice C 
programmer and I have followed a book to learn to write C programs.  All
my programs (small, less than 50 lines) can't be compiled to an .EXE file.
I got the error message:

Make: Fatal Error U1077: 'LINK.EXE': return code -1

I check the the On-line Help and also the manual and still can't figure
out what is going on.  I have a hard time finding what the return code
-1 means.

Could somebody tell me what I may do to avoid this error?  This only
happens when I use the integrated enviroment (i.e. use shift-F5).  I 
can compile my program using qcl or link at the DOS prompt without
any problem.

Thanks in advance.
