No, it complains about LARCH_PATH being not defined correctly.

Are these blanks real?  If so, you defined the variable incorrectly:
it shouldn't include blanks around the equals sign.

Also, did you remember to export LARCH_PATH?

>  LARCH_PATH = <not set> (default = .:c:/djgpp/lclint-2.4/lib/)

This might indicate another problem, which might be related or not
related to how you set LARCH_PATH and export it.  See those colons in
the default value of LARCH_PATH?  That means LC-Lint uses Unix-style
path lists for this and other environment variables.  This won't work
on DOS, since DOS pathnames like c:/djgpp/lclint-2.4/lib include a
colon after the drive letter.  You will need to change LC-Lint to use
semi-colon instead, or use directory names with no drive letter (like
in /djgpp/lclint-2.4/lib) and make sure you work on the same drive.

If all of the above doesn't help, you will need to step with a
debugger into the function which gets LARCH_PATH from the environment
and see what's wrong there.
