I am using Windows XP, sorry for not including this information in my
original post, I had intended to do so but it must have slipped my
mind. 

This is, I believe, the most recent version of the software, and all
packages were recommended based on my choices from zip-picker.html.

D:\djgpp>gcc hello.c
gcc.exe: environment variable DJGPP points to corrupt file
'c:\djgpp\djgpp.env'

Direct use of GCC can be resolved as follows:

D:\djgpp>set djdir=d:\djgpp

D:\djgpp>gcc hello.c

D:\djgpp>a.exe
Hello, world.
D:\djgpp>

However this solution does not resolve the issue entirely, because
make still refuses to work properly:

D:\djgpp\allegro>make
Your PATH is not set correctly! This must include the
djgpp bin directory: see the djgpp readme.1st for details.

>Also which version of gcc are you using? (gcc --version <double ->))

D:\djgpp\allegro>gcc --version
gcc.exe (GCC) 3.3.1
