You have not configured your DJGPP installation properly.  Make sure
you've set the PATH and DJGPP variables as instructed in 'readme.1st'. 
If you remain stuck, post a system report as outlined in chapter 6.12 of
the DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions list.

I have written a utility called DJVERIFY designed to diagnose common
installation problems, recommend solutions, and prepare a system report
if necessary.  Please consider trying it out:
