i wrote a little code to test lcd... the code working fine on proteus but on hardware lcd dont show any character...

Code:
Code:
#include <16F877A.h>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)

#include <flex_lcd.c>

void main() 
{ 
lcd_init();

lcd_putc("Hello World");
while(true)
{ 
output_high(Pin_C3); 
     delay_ms(1000); 

     output_low(PIN_C3); 
     delay_ms(1000); 
}
while(1);
}

Flex_lcd.c Driver
Code:
// flex_lcd.c

// These pins are for the Microchip PicDem2-Plus board,
// which is what I used to test the driver.  Change these
// pins to fit your own board.

#define LCD_DB4   PIN_B4
#define LCD_DB5   PIN_B5 
#define LCD_DB6   PIN_B6 
#define LCD_DB7   PIN_B7       

#define LCD_E     PIN_D6
#define LCD_RS    PIN_D7  

// If you only want a 6-pin interface to your LCD, then 
// connect the R/W pin on the LCD to ground, and comment 
// out the following line.

I grounded the R/w Pin ...
and connected all other pins according to the flex_lcd driver

I am using 3.9v battery... is this the problem? cause right now i dont have any other
 

Ensure Oscillator works good as mentioned by hemnath. Is it XT or HS in the fuses?

Put a small delay after the lcd_init(); function to let the lcd initialize. about 10-20ms would do.

for a frequency less than or equal to 4mhz its XT... and HS for greater than 4mhz

and ok i will try adding some delay
