This is already a clear sign of trouble.  I'm guessing that you
unzipped the files with a DOS utility which doesn't support long file
names, but you are using the compiler on Windows 9X, where DJGPP by
default does support long file names.

I suggest to remove the entire DJGPP installation tree, then download
unzip32.exe from this URL:

  ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/unzip32.exe

and then unzip all the files on the CD again, this time using
unzip32.exe.  Then your installation will work as you expect.
