You must be currently in the directory c:\djgpp if that is where your c
file is.  You are instead in your root dir.

The best option is to create a different dir for your programs, and run
gcc from there.

eg.
if "c:\lee\c" contained my hello.c program, then to compile:

c:\>cd\lee\c
c:\lee\c>gcc p1.c -o p1.exe

There you go.

Or, use rhide :)
