Firstly, have you read the FAQ and all the installation instructions for
DJGPP? You need to set up the environment variables in a DOS box for the
compiler to work right, and you also need to have extracted the DJGPP
archives you downloaded with the -d option on pkzip to preserve directory
information, otherwise it will just not work. Did you use the ZipPicker on
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp ? Did you get all the .ZIP files you need for
the particular configuration you selected using the ZipPicker?

Check these points out, then try again - maybe the fault lies there
somewhere?

Fanx for choosing DJGPP!!!
