Ok for headers; I unstalled all msys-lib* packages and /usr/lib is now empty as well.

I will try not to use pre-compiled for now.
I will have quite a few scripts (wget, unpack, patch, configure, make, make install) for various libs; will post it somewhere later. Perhaps someone will find it useful. > There is no 64bit MSYS.

Currently, the "make" binary is the i686-pc-msys one. I will keep using it, then. > Check for BLODA instead. See > <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.bloda> Good pointer, thanks. Not clear how to disable Catalyst, having an ATI graphics card, though. Cheers, Václav ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
