Have you set your path in your autoexec.bat file, you should see something
like this ?

set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%

er, are you in the same directory as your source file ?

is your command line prompt typed correctly ?

i.e. gcc myprog.c -o myprog.exe

have you installed DJGPP correctly ?

Have you read the readme.1st that came with DJGPP ?

I hope I've been some help !

Bye
