The problem is that GPC has not been built with a LIBC (C library)
that supports Windows 2K or XP and as such gives the error you see. 
The reason for this is that MS introduced allot of incompatabilites
between Windows 9x and 2K/XP which break existing code.

A solution is to downlaod the GPC source and recompile it using the
latest DJGPP 2.03 refresh from simtel and it should work okay. 

There are potentially some other options, but they were done in 2001
and may not be compatible with W2K SP3. For other potential
workarrounds try the following URL as a starting point:-
