No request can be too specific -- it's vague requests that are
hard to answer.

It implies that some things are OK.  If you didn't need to go to
djgpp's `bin' directory to do this then your path is correct.
If you did need to, then your path is not correct.

Please post the output of the `set' command at a DOS prompt,
i.e. do this:

    set > set.txt

and post the text file.  Also post your autoexec.bat, and say
the exact path to where djgpp is installed (the path to
`djgpp.env').  In addition, go to your djgpp `manifest'
directory and type this:

    dir /b *.mft > manifest.txt

Post that file too.

Finally, tell us exactly what you typed to compile that program.
If you ran a batch file, tell us exactly what the batch file
says.  Also post all the error messages produced.  The simplest
way to do this is instead of calling:

    gcc .....

call this:

    redir -o output.txt -eo gcc -v .....

`-v' means to give more information about what gcc is doing.
When you perform this command you won't see the output on the
screen, but you can read it in `output.txt'.  Please include
that file in your next posting too.
