There is a file in the djgpp distribution called 'readme.1st'.  If you
read it it specifically tells you that you need a DPMI host to run djgpp.
This means running under Windows 3.1/95 DOS box, QDPMI, 386max, Linux
dosemu, etc.  To run under vanilla DOS, you can download this free DPMI
host provided for DJGPP:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2misc/csdpmi3b.zip

BTW, the FAQ _does_ tell you about DPMI - just look up the error message!
But be sure to get the exact text right.

Only those users who don't read the documentation.  Don't get mad - I was
one of them.  :)
