Thanks Chris. It was indeed the cygwin1.dll. I have an old version of cygwin installed (2.774) along with this one 2.850 (32 bit). All of the mirrors are down from that version, so I installed a new one. Reading the forum, I thought it was OK to have multiple versions of cygwin installed, but I suppose the cygwin1.dll file is an exception to that.
If you have more than 1 version of Cygwin installed, you need to be careful not to have multiple versions in your path. With one in the Windows directory, that's really not possible if you're trying to use the new DLL. This is why we recommend against putting the Cygwin DLL in any of the default Windows directories. If you do so, your configuration is definitely an exception. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- 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
