Is your DJGPP installation indeed rooted on C:\DJGPP?  If so, try making 
the slashes to be forward slashes:

	set DJGPP=C:/DJGPP/DJGPP.ENV

If this doesn't help either, post the contents of your DJGPP.ENV file.  
Also check that you have at least 1500 bytes of environment free.

The start-up code reads that file and inserts its contents into the 
environment of the program, as if you did it with SET command from the 
DOS prompt.  It puts the variables selectively, so a given program only 
gets the variables listed under its section (e.g., gcc only gets the 
variables listed in the [gcc] section) in addition to the variables in 
the common section.
