You didn't read the 'readme.1st' file in the DJGPP distribution.  To
properly set up DJGPP for DOS, you must do these two things to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

1) add C:\DJGPP\BIN (or whereever the \BIN directory is) to your PATH.

2) add the following line:
SET DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV

The second line is what tells DJGPP programs where to find the djgpp.env
file, which contains all the paths and other necessities for them to work.

I recommend downloading the DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions list
(v2/faq201b.zip) and perusing it - the above question is answered in
section 8.1.
