try installing it "with" overriding the installed files. you can actually connect to the server and upgrade all components. if you have an older version it'll say "Install" to the new version. the cygwin dll's have changed a little over the years - bringing some incompatibilities. i normally just download setup.exe - download to harddrive and install from harddrive. its only 400mb to get everything downloaded (doesn't take long) and then i have *everything* i need (or, what i even dont need) thats acceptable with the current version. -- // Aaron Ardiri -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
