Which version of VirtualBox? (Latest stable is 4.1.20.) Was VT-X
enabled? What host OS (Windows?) ?

The last time it did that to me, I had accidentally forgotten to
install some needed too (e.g. BinUtils!!) or setup %DJGPP% correctly.
Latest versions don't seem to tell you very well when that happens.

At risk of stating the obvious (to someone who clearly knows what he's
doing), what does your /manifest/ directory look like?

At (ultra bare) minimum, you need these three files:

djdev203.zip
bnu222br4.zip
gcc471b.zip

unzip -q *.zip -d c:\djgpp
path c:\djgpp\bin;%PATH%
set DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env
gcc -v

Should work fine then. I don't know the minimum RAM needed, but I
assume you had a reasonable amount setup.

No, because I run it natively atop FreeDOS (at least /beta/ , same
version, but I blindly assume /current/ works too), and it's fine.

I use XMGR, so if you tried that and it still failed, you either
misconfigured it or something else is afoot.
