First thing to try is to see whether this is specific to RHIDE or all DJGPP programs. Write a simple DJGPP program which does getenv("DJDIR") and prints the result, and see if DJDIR is defined inside that program. Assuming that the test program does see DJDIR defined, the next step is to try different RHIDE versions and see whether the problem is specific to some or all of them. There's an old version on SimTel.NET and another one on Robert Hoehne's home page. Meanwile, someone who knows about RHIDE internals could look into the sources and try to see what does RHIDE do with code which reads DJGPP.ENV that other programs don't normally do. (DJGPP.ENV is normall read by the startup code.)
