Make sure that you've set up your environment correctly according to the
'readme.1st' file. Specifically, you must add the C:\DJGPP\BIN
directory to your PATH and set the DJGPP environment variable to point
to the location of the 'djgpp.env' file. This should solve the header
file problem.
As for the go32-v2 message, that's more alarming. Your computer may be
infected with a virus - I recommend that you immediately scan all your
files! The only other possible reason to get that error is that you've
somehow got a blank or truncated image attached to the executable, in
which case you should try reinstalling.
Please download and read the DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions list
(v2/faq210b.zip from SimTel), or read it online at
<http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/>. Chapter 6 covers the most common
problems encountered when running DJGPP.
