Save your breath. Get the DJGPP RPM from the Redhat contribs directory on
sunsite. It's

http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/contrib/
  /RPMS/djgpp-2.1-1.i386.rpm

And, if you're using an RPM system (Caldera OpenLinux, Caldera Network
Desktop, or any Redhat box) just install it. Works perfectly for me(TM)
and with tkInfo to read the DJGPP libc reference and XEmacs for editing in
another window, beats the crap out of everything.  :) 

Of course the caveat: the DJGPP RPM does NOT have Objective-C or C++, just
plain C (which is all that I use).
