David,

I do not think that your problem has much to do with the failed binutils install. Rather, I think that your problem has something to do with either a failed installation of the new version of the Cygwin DLL or it is due to a problem with the new version of the Cygwin DLL that was released just a day or two ago. If it is the former, then you should try reinstalling the cygwin package (which contains cygwin1.dll), if it is the later, I am sure that we will hear tons of corroborating reports in the next several days :)

Hi All,
I am trying to install binutils on cygwin running under Win 98. =
Unfortunately it fails at the same spot each time (see below for the =
error messages).

It almost seems like there is a memory leak since after the binutil =
install failure, I tried to start a command shell and Windows reported =
it did not have enough memory to start a shell. The only running process =
is bash.

Ideas? Suggestions?

Regards David
