Please try to be more specific. What were the precise error message
you got? Did you read the FAQ's tips about porting Unix packages?
The most important bits to remember:

* Always run configure scripts in DJGPP Bash, with the
  "TEST_FINDS_EXE" option active. You'll know that you didn't when 
  the configure script complains it can't find gcc or cc, or some other
  programs.

* After finding and fixing any problem, be sure to start from a clean
  situation: delete config.cache before re-running configure.

* In case of any error messages, capture the output to a file, and
  mail it.

* Don't assume that just because the programs compile and seem to run,
  you've dont a successful port of them to DOS --- there's a couple of
  traps and pitfalls to be aware of, which may go unnoticed even by the
  "make check" run, if one exists.
