Make sure the HDD name C:\ matches with the HDD you've installed DJGPP
to.

Goto DJ Delories website (There's a link on my website URL below.) and
use Zippicker, make sure you did get ALL the .zip files needed.

And you've definitley installed DJGPP to C:\ ??
Try posting your autoexec.bat file here and typing in the path you've
installed dJGPP to, i.e. D:\DJGPP\

Type gcc at a command prompt from your root folder, does it give an
error "unknown command" or something or "gcc no input file." ??

If it's "unknown command" your environment in autoexec.bat is likely to
be wrong or you didn't get all the .zips or you unzipped them wrongly.

I just lookes in my G:\DJGPP\Bin\ folder no .h files in there, did you
use -d or Winzip when unzipping the files??

We all did at some stage, so it's nothing to worry about. :)
