Will you tell us what files those are?  Sometimes people give inaccurate
requirements as to what you need. You will need these to compile C:
djdev*.zip
gcc*b.zip
bnu*b.zip

For one thing, headers don't belong in the bin directory. They belong in
`\djgpp\include', which is where they should have come when you unzipped. Do
you have your DJGPP environment variable set? That could cause this problem.
It is described in README.1ST. Also make sure you are using the original
DJGPP.ENV file.
