What exactly are you trying to run?  :-)

To compile a program, first you must write one, using the text editor or
IDE of your choice.  Then you must compile it, using either the 'gcc'
compiler or the builtin compilation commands of the IDE.  An example
command line might look like:

 gcc -Wall -O -g -o myprog.exe myprog.c

If you want to use RHIDE, a Turbo C look-alike that is designed
specifically for DJGPP, just run 'rhide', enter your program, and use
the menu commands to compile it.

A comprehensive (although incomplete) DJGPP User's Guide is available at
http://www.delorie.com/doc/ug/.  I also suggest the DJGPP Frequently
Asked Questions list, available as v2/faq210b.zip from SimTel or online
at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/.

hth!
