The error message seems to indicate that the makefile script thinks that you
don't have djgpp properly installed.  Looking at the makefile, I see that the
message (or what I think you mean by "Get the DJGPP package or instal GCC bla
bla
bla in the correct path") is generated when there is no [djdir]/bin/cc1.exe
file.  So perhaps you did not install all of the djgpp packages you need.

You may get more help if you post your environment variables here.  You can
type at the DOS prompt: 
set > env.lst

...and then post the contents of env.lst.  Go ahead and post the contents of
autoexec.bat too.  Then folks will be able to help you.

gramming experience, I would recommend Kernighan & Ritchie's _The C
Programming Language_.  I think that the second edition is the one that has
information on ANSI C.  The one I read was a bit out of date.

Another author I like a lot is Stephen Kochan.  His _Topics in C Programming_
has a bunch of helpful information on using the standard library and advanced
topics.

OK.
