I don't mean to sound pedantic, but have you tried reading the instructions? In 'readme.1st', you are told to place the DJGPP 'bin' directory into your PATH and set the environment variable DJGPP to point to the location of the file 'djgpp.env'. Assuming you installed into C:\DJGPP, the commands to place in your autoexec.bat would look like the following: SET PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH% SET DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV If you make these settings, save, and reboot, DJGPP should run properly. There are some other potential reasons for this problem: - You didn't unzip the file 'djdev201.zip', which contains the C headers and libraries. - You have improperly modified the file 'djgpp.env'. - You misspelled the DJGPP variable, set it to the wrong location, or inserted extra spaces/blanks into the setting. The DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions list (v2/faq210b.zip from SimTel or online at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/) contains additional causes and solutions in chapter 8.1. Also, in chapter 6.12, it describes the proper format for posting a system report to this discussion group. You might also want to try out the latest version of DJVERIFY, an installation diagnostic utility that I have developed and am currently testing. It can figure out most basic problems with a DJGPP installation and prepare a system report suitable for posting. You can download it from my web site below, or directly from http://www.cs.com/fighteer/files/vrfy04a.zip. hth! -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
