Your problem most probably is that you installed DJGPP in a directory 
whose name exceeds the 8+3 DOS limits for file names, and your DJGPP 
environment variable is set to the long name.  The DJGPP FAQ list 
(v2/faq210b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP) explains in section 
8.1 that this doesn't work, and suggests ways to solve this problem.

If the advice in the FAQ doesn't work, post here your configuration files 
(CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT).
