Where did the source of that dvi file come from?  If it was a GNU-style 
docs written in Texinfo, you need to use the texi2dvi shell script which 
will run TeX and the texindex program several times until the indices are 
created.  (You will need Bash and several auxiliary utilities to run 
texi2dvi; texindex is part of txi390b.zip.)

If the source came from a TeX file, I think you will need to download and 
compile a program named makeindex.  It is not part of the TeX system 
ported to DJGPP at this time, but you should be able to find it on CTAN 
archives and it should compile with DJGPP without any problems.
