Looks like you misunderstood some of the installations instructions. As the message told you, the environment variable DJGPP should hold the actual filename of DJGPP.ENV, as it exists on your harddisk. And please try to use cut-and-paste from the actual displayed message, instead of copying it by hand... As is, there's a rather suspicious extra quote and space at the end of the filename, but that might be just a typing error. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
