we prove the generalized hyers--ulam stability of n--th order linear differential equation of the form $y^{(n)}+p_{1}(x)y^{(n-1)}+ cdots+p_{n-1}(x)y^{prime}+p_{n}(x)y=f(x)$, with condition that there exists a non--zero solution of corresponding homogeneous equation. our main results extend and improve the corresponding results obtained by many authors.
