The error messages are presumably from the link process (compilation 
gives line numbers) so it seems that you haven't linked in the 
stream library, libiostr.a. 
Check that you have this file - it should be in your djgpp/lib 
directory. If you have it then you can link it in with -liostr
on the gcc command line.
If you do not have libiostr.a then you have an incomplete installation.
Check you have these files 
(any simtel mirror, /gnu/djgpp/v2/README.1ST):

[snip]

To build C programs, you'll need djdev201.zip, gcc2721b.zip, and

bnu27b.zip.  For C++, also get gpp2721b.zip and lgp271b.zip.  To read

the online manuals, get txi390b.zip and run "info".

[snip]

For more

details, download faq210b.zip (the full FAQ list) and read Chapter 4

there.

I suggest you use the RHIDE editor. It certainly helped me as
a beginnner (http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rho/rhide.html or any 
simtel mirror /gnu/djgpp/v2apps/rhide11b.zip).

I don't see anything wrong with your code.
