1) Did you download the C++ packages as well as the C ones?  The C++
packages are gpp272b.zip and lgp271b.zip.

2) Are you running under Windows 95?  If so, try typing "SET LFN=Y" from
your DOS prompt and rebuilding.

3) If this fails, you may have run into the notorious bug in GNU make
which makes it fail to recognize long filenames.  Try typing "SET LFN=N"
from your DOS prompt and rebuilding.

4) If _this_ doesn't work, make sure that the DOS 8.3 filenames of your
programs don't have the Win95 numeric tails (libios~0.a for example). 
This causes some name conflicts with long filenames disabled.  You'll
have to turn off the NameNumericTail option in the Win95 registry and
then reinstall the djgpp packages.

If none of this helps, try posting a configuration report as outlined in
the djgpp FAQ section 6.12 ("Totally lost").
