What operating system are you using?  The error message means exactly
what it said -- the stub which loads your program found that the DPMI
server couldn't provide any DPMI memory.  The only environment I've
found which can give this error is Linux's dosemu, when you don't
change the DPMI memory provision to something large enough.
Presumably turning down Windows' DPMI memory setting would cause this
too.

The issue here is not how much physical memory and hard disk space you
have free, but how much of that the DPMI server is willing to give the
djgpp program.  Please say more about your DPMI server, and post the
output of `go32-v2' being run under the same circumstances as your
program.
