Did you unzip the files using a program that supports long filenames
(LFN)?  If so, go to where you installed DJGPP and edit the 
'djgpp.env' file and change the line that says "+LFN=n" to "LFN=y".
Also type "set LFN=y" at the dos prompt.  I assume that you have
already done "set DJGPP=c:/djgpp/djgpp.env" somewhere ...
