The CD that comes with that book is known to have some problems.  Also
it may have an old version of DJGPP.  

Consider downloading a recent version from http://www.delorie.com,
follow the link to the djgpp zip-picker.  At least download the
readme.1st file and take a look at the FAQ also.

Hopefully your problem will already be answered in one of those files
- if not you need to be more specific about how you installed DJGPP
and exactly what you do to trigger the error.


ps. Can you turn off HTML when posting to the list please.  Also a
reduced line length would make your posts much more readable.
