I get the same error message trying to compile the "hello.c" program.
I'm new to DJGPP, but not new to C.  I've read the README.1ST file and
modified my AUTOEXEC.BAT file accordingly.  There does't seem to be
any info for this problem in the FAQ.

I unzipped all the files as follows:

d:\DJGPP>pkunzip -d d:\tmp\<filename>.zip

where d: is the logical drive letter.

I downloaded and installed version 2 files.  Additonally, I downloaded
and installed g++,  g77 and gnu pascal, as well as the grx22 library.
I did not download Object C.

When I tried to compile "hello.c" I got that installation error
message.   I then tried to compile with the command:

gcc -v -o hello.exe hello.c

with the following response

Reading specs from d:/djgpp/lib\spes
gcc version 2.7.2.1.f.1
cpp -lang-c -v -undef -D__=2

followed by many -D__ declarations with the final line 

-D__DJGPP_MINOR=1 hello.c d:/djgpp/tmp\ccbaaaaa

then the error message

gcc.exe : installation problem, cannot exec 'cpp': No such file or
directory (ENOENT).

I tried editing the DJGPP.ENV file without luck.  I did find some
possilbe sources for errors in the [cpp] section.
1. CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH - there is no %DJDIR%/contrib/grx20/include.  It
is now /contrib/grx22/include
2. I deleted the OBJCPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH and OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH lines
because I didn't download Object C and the /lang/objc directory didn't
exist. But, that didn't help. 

 Anyone with any ideas?
