My Cygwin installation has been working just fine for many months. Today it suddenly stopped working, with the dreaded "system shared memory version mismatch detected" error.
I installed a copy of Exact Audio Copy and LAME today, so possibly one of those triggered it? I followed the instructions in the error message, and deleted all copies of cygwin1.dll except the one in C:\cygwin\bin. (The only other ones were basically backup copies. They had been there for ages and AFAIK were not involved in the problem.) I then rebooted and tried again. Didn't help. I dug around with Google, looked in the FAQ, etc, and removing extra cygwin1.dll's & rebooting is all anybody suggests. If that doesn't help, what do I do next? I would like to just do an "update everything to current release" with setup.exe, but I don't see any way to do that. What's the right way to update all installed packages? (I just found the gmane newsgroups. Can't post to them with NNTP or post.gmane.org, and I haven't figured out yet how to get on the cygwin ML. Please cc me at fritz at frii dot com.)
