Hi John & Andrew,

Thanks for your replies. I'm using CentOS 5.9 (as a VM), not Cygwin.

For the query I mentioned:

../fastbit-ibis1.3.7/examples/
ibis -d tmp -v -q "where cid=246973 and iid=7"

...I thought it would print a result set. Is this not the case for the
above query? Or is it the memory issues that would prevent this from
happening?
