You probably didn't install some of the programs required to compile
it successfully.  The file v2/readme.1st (from the same place where
you got DJGPP) lists all the packages you need to download and
install; please make sure you have all of them.

Adding -v to the compilation command line will cause GCC to print the
names of all the programs it invokes during compilation; this will
show you exactly what program is missing.

The DJGPP FAQ list (v2/faq211b.zip) is another place to look for
solutions to such problems.  Check out sections 6.5 and 6.6 of the
FAQ, in particular.
