At this point, I have not found anything wrong elsewhere that might be affecting the get-drv-info.exe problem. At least get-drv-info.exe has the correct .exe suffix now. (The recent change I put into svn.) Could you attempt to verify the problem by hand? That is do the following (inspired by make.out2 results) cd /cygdrive/c/arjen/plplot-svn/install-cygwin/drivers ./get-drv-info.exe ps I assume that will give the same error that ps cannot be found. IMPORTANT QUESTION: Once that verification is done could you try the following variation and send me the complete error message that you get? ./get-drv-info.exe /cygdrive/c/arjen/plplot-svn/install-cygwin/drivers/ps.so When I do the equivalent on Linux here is what I get: ./get-drv-info /home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/drivers/ps.so Could not read symbol plD_DEVICE_INFO_/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/drivers/ps.so in driver module /home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/drivers/ps.so libltdl error: /home/software/autotools/install/lib/libltdl.so.3: undefined symbol: plD_DEVICE_INFO_/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/drivers/ps.so Notice, it has found exactly the full path name (/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/drivers/ps.so) that I specified so I hope it will do the equivalent for you. The remaining error is because it is looking for the wrong symbol based on the full path name. That should be easy to correct in get-drv-info.c, but it would be nice before I do that correction to know that the full path name solves the issue of being able to find ps.so on your Cygwin platform.
