Have you looked?  Chapters 8.1 and 8.2 specifically describe this
problem along with possible solutions.

Under Win95, pkunzip does not preserve the long filenames that are
stored in the zipfiles.  You may want to reinstall with a LFN-aware
program such as Winzip.  See chapter 8.2 of the FAQ for more info.

You should _not_ _ever_ edit the djgpp.env file unless you know what
you're doing.  Specifically do not change the line that reads +DJDIR=;
if you do, your files will not be found.

Please go back and reunzip 'djgpp.env' and start over.  You should not
have made those changes; they only make the problem worse.

According to what you've said, you seem to have installed DJGPP in the
directory D:\DJGPP.  Your autoexec.bat settings should therefore look
like this:

PATH=D:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%
SET DJGPP=D:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV

Please note that you cannot have spaces in the DJGPP setting.  If they
do look like this, and you still aren't succeeding, try to prepare a
full system report according to chapter 6.12 of the FAQ.  Specifically,
we need the contents of your 'config.sys', 'autoexec.bat', and
'djgpp.env', the output of "set" from the DOS prompt, and the full
output of "gcc -v".

Alternatively, you could try out my DJVERIFY diagnostic utility, the
latest version of which can be downloaded from my web page.  It can
detect problems and prepare a system report automatically.
