I just downloaded cygwin _base _subversion _Perl _openssh _tnftp...on a new Dell desktop with Windows 10 Enterprise installed last week and I am getting this error from many commands:. E:\sandbox\sc>which bin 0 [main] which 4660 find_fast_cwd: WARNING: Couldn't compute FAST_CWD pointer. Please report this problem to the public mailing list cygwin@cygwin.com I rooted around on the internet and found this: "Ok, I think you found the source of the problem. Indeed, another cygwin1.dll (version 1.7.17) gets included as a dependency of tail.exe in the all-in-one package and must have overwrite the one included with Dynamips (version 1.7.28)." I did find other threads on the web discussing this, but most were older and referred to Windows 8.x. Also tried reinstalling just the default cygwin package and the problem persisted. I then searched for cygwin1.dll on the internet, but cold not figure out how to update just cygwin1.dll. I did not attempt to use a pay website to correct this problem. I did find other threads on the web discussing the FAST_CWD pointer issue, but most were older and referred to Windows 8.x.

It doesn't really matter what version of the DLL you have. The one you just installed with the setup program from cygwin.com (you did use the setup program from cygwin.com, right?) is the right version. Any others that aren't in the bin directory of your new Cygwin installation are outdated. They apparently either appear in your path before your new Cygwin installation or are already loaded into memory by some running app. Either way, find them and nuke them. You don't need them and doing so will get rid of this very ancient message (from some very ancient cygwin1.dlls you have). Anything that's dependent on the old cygwin1.dlls will run with your new one. -- Larry -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
