Check the FAQ for this.  It's real common, in the FAQ, and getting used to the FAQ is VERY
important for djgpp.

Specifically:

You should be using an unzip which will keep the archived files in the same directories.

Make sure your djgpp environment variable points to the correct directory.

Make sure your path contains the djgpp\bin directory.

Make sure you're using the original djgpp.env file.

If you've done all of this, post your autoexec.bat and your djgpp.env.  That's stated in the
FAQ as well.
