It looks like you have not set up djgpp per instructions. There should be included a faq in fact a faq information in several formats. They are unsipped from faq230b.zip one in xxx.info and there is the same thing in txt and html. It's a pain but you have to get it all together. Have you had a look at ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/ there is all of the latest stuff. Look for t he weekly faq from JD delorie I think he has a word or two about starting.
