Because you run DJGPP on NT where long file names aren't supported,
and streambuf.h exceeds the DOS 8+3 limits for file names.

Most probably, you have unzipped DJGPP with something like WinZip
which preserves the long file names in DJGPP zip files.  To get it
working, delete the entire DJGPP tree, then re-install it, this time
using a DOS unzip program.  One such program is unzip386.exe which
should be available from the same place you downloaded DJGPP.

Whenever you have problems with DJGPP claiming it doesn't find files
that seem to be in place, use the "DIR /X" command.  It shows the
short 8+3 aliases for all the long file names, and it is those file
names which DJGPP programs see.  I bet in your case, there's something
like STREAM~1.H.

I suggest to download the FAQ, v2/faq211b.zip, and look there for
solutions to any problems you might have.  Many common calamities are
already solved there.  For example, this problem is covered in section
8.2 of the FAQ.
