I checked the LFN line in djgpp.env, and it was already set to “y”,
and I have no file truncated (since I used WinZip 7.0 to unzip all the
stuff).

The compiler seems to find the libraries, but it looks like they were
full of sintax errors(!), since the compiler returns a lot of
occurrences of a strange “parse error” when it tries to read the
libraries.
It happens any time I include a C++ library, even if I don't use any
C++ statement in my code, (even if I try to compile an empty program
like this:)

# include <iostream.h>
int main(void) {
}

When I remove the line
# include <iostream.h>
everything works fine.

I'm probably making a stupid mistake somewhere, or I have to use some
compiler switch to turn on C++ compilation...

Thank you very much, your suggestion was very kind.

Bye, Emanuele.
