The problem is that GPC has not been built with a LIBC (C library) that supports Windows 2K or XP and as such gives the error you see. The reason for this is that MS introduced allot of incompatabilites between Windows 9x and 2K/XP which break existing code. A solution is to downlaod the GPC source and recompile it using the latest DJGPP 2.03 refresh from simtel and it should work okay. There are potentially some other options, but they were done in 2001 and may not be compatible with W2K SP3.
