Have you deleted the actual Borland directory, or at least taken it out 
of the path. I had a similar problem because borland C++ put itself 
before DJGPP in the DOS path and then when I tried to run make on a DJGPP 
makefile the Borland make program would run instead, which caused all 
sorts of problems.
