You've just downloaded it and already managed to mess with DJGPP.ENV
and screw it up!  Please make this (incorrect) line

	DJDIR=%:/>DJGPPV2%

To say this (like it it did before):

	DJDIR=%:/>DJGPP%

Please do NOT edit DJGPP.ENV unless you understand its syntax and know
exactly what you are doing.  I'm not sure if this line is the source
of your trouble, but you might try your compile after reverting it to
see if it helps.  If it doesn't, read on.

Please redirect the output of gcc to a file (use `redir' if you need),
and add -v switch to the link command line.  For example:

	i:\djgppv2\bin\echo.exe *.c > flist
	redir -o gcc.log -eo gcc -v demo.c @flist -lm

Then post the file `gcc.log' created by this command.

Also, see if you have a file called "-lm" or "libm.a" anywhere on your
disk(s) and post what does the DIR command print about them.
