It means that the available DPMI memory is not enough to load your
program into memory.

Details, please.

  - What OS is that (DOS, Windows 3.X, Windows 9X, what version)?

  - If you run on plain DOS (no Windows), what memory manager do you
    use, and how did you configure it?

  - What does go32-v2 print when invoked with no argument, in
    precisely the same way as you run your program which fails?

  - Did you run your program from the DOS prompt, or in some other way
    (e.g., from inside another program)?

  - Do other DJGPP programs, such as gcc, work for you in the same
    environment?

  - How much memory should your program need (estimated)?
