It seems like you got a full distribution instead of development-only
one.  What file(s) did you install and where did you get them?  The
DJGPP FAQ list (available as faq102.zip from SimTel mirrors) includes
a list of those files you should download, listed by the specific needs
people usually want DJGPP.  To put it simple, get the *bn.zip, *dc.zip
and dj*.zip files and forget the sources.  But please read the FAQ for
more details, to be sure you don't miss some files which might cause
you grief later.
