I know I'm likely stating the obvious and my reply will look foolish,
however I was having trouble compiling the PThreads library.  All I had to
do was go into DJGPP.ENV (in your DJGPP directory) and change the line
"LFN=N" to "LFN=Y".  Obviously the LFN is an acronym for Long File Names.
Again, though, I realize this likely is not the problem you are having.

Cheers!
