Yes it was.  And DJ Delorie replied that you should have 
    
    set djgpp=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env

not

    set djgpp = c:\djgpp\djgpp.env

However, I think you must really have got this correct, or you would have
got a different error message.  DJ's other suggestion was to try

    gcc -v -o hello.exe hello.c

and see what it prints out.

The lib directory is for object files (such as crt0.o) and libraries
(which are really just collections of object files).  So your files are
in the correct directories.

Only the bin directory needs to be in your path, since there are no
executables in the include and lib directories.  This isn't the cause
of your problems though.

I suggest trying the "gcc -v" thing and posting the results here if you
still can't work out what's wrong.

It seems a bit mysterious to me though.  Perhaps you could try

    set LIBRARY_PATH=c:/djgpp/lib

but really this should be taken care of automatically by djgpp.env.
