It means that you did not follow the instructions in readme.1st to the
letter.  :-)

You must set your DJGPP environment variable to point to the correct
location of the file 'djgpp.env'.  You must also set your PATH to
include the DJGPP 'bin' directory.  Additional pitfalls include putting
the DJGPP files into a directory that contains a long filename,
unzipping with a non-LFN unzip program under Windows 95, etc.

The DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions list contains a complete chapter on
installation and compilation problems (chapter 8).  If the information
in there doesn't help, please see chapter 6.12 for information on the
proper way to post a system report to this discussion group.

You might also want to try out my DJVERIFY diagnostic utility which is
designed to evaluate your DJGPP installation.  The latest test version
is available from my web page (below), or directly from the URL:
