Hi Mark, I've just updated my cygwin and tried building it on WinXP. At first it failed (with fork issues), but after following steps in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/python-2.5.README (that explained how to rebaseall), it was almost the same as in your case:
$ python setup.py build_ext running build_ext building '_imaging' extension creating build creating build/temp.cygwin-1.5.24-i686-2.5 creating build/temp.cygwin-1.5.24-i686-2.5/libImaging gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DHAVE_LIBJPEG -DHAVE_LIBZ -I /usr/include/freetype2 -IlibImaging -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/python2.5 -c _imaging.c -o bui ld/temp.cygwin-1.5.24-i686-2.5/_imaging.o Assembler messages: FATAL: can't create build/temp.cygwin-1.5.24-i686-2.5/_imaging.o: Permission denied Note that the last line happened only once, other times it was just hanging silently. Looks like cygwin issue. Best regards, Alexey. On 3/27/07, Mark Wendell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello - I'm trying to install PIL in cygwin under windows vista.
