This could have something to do with the fact that you didn't get it from an official Cygwin mirror... Also, 1.3.1 is OLD, OLD, OLD! Here's what you can do: Rename your current cygwin directory (to cygwin.old, for example). Go to http://cygwin.com/ , click on Install Cygwin now, and download setup.exe. Follow the instructions to upgrade your Cygwin to 1.3.12-4 (which is the latest for now; 1.3.13 may be released soon). You may choose any mirror. Also install gcc-2.95.3-5 (or you may try your luck with 3.2-1), and any other packages you think you need (e.g., man, less, etc). Move any files you created from your old cygwin tree to the new one. Then try your compilation again. Igor P.S. You may also remove your old cygwin tree at that point -- you won't need it anymore. -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`'-. ;-;;,_[EMAIL PROTECTED] |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.

RE: gcc doesn't work but seemed to install fine...
download.com just points to setup.exe on the cygwin home page so what she got was up to date but incomplete. Betty didn't see the instructions for how to install so didn't install gcc and man, as neither gcc nor man are part of the base install. Betty should see the the installation instructions on the cygwin home page http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ and then re-run steup. And get in the habit of using the cygwin home page and not download.com when dealing with cygwin. - Barry On Mon, 23 Sep 2002, Betty Cheung wrote: Hi, all, I installed cygwin 1.3.1 whole package on my PC with windows XP from download.com as instructed and started cygwin from my desktop.

RE: gcc doesn't work but seemed to install fine...
Oh, didn't know that about download.com. What threw me off was the subject -- one can read it as gcc installed fine, so I assumed she actually explicitly installed gcc... My bad.

I didn't know that about download.com either. I was interested in seeing if they supplied source so I looked and that was what I found. - Barry --- Igor Pechtchanski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oh, didn't know that about download.com.

gcc doesn't work but seemed to install fine...
Hello all, I just used the cygwin setup program to install gcc on my d: drive on my windows 2000 professional pc. The install seemed to go fine. From the command line I can get the version of gcc: bash.exe-2.02$ gcc -v Using builtin specs. gcc version egcs-2.91.57 19980901 (egcs-1.1 release) But when I try to compile something I get an error: bash.exe-2.02$ gcc socks.c cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' And then an error box pops up that says: The procedure entry point_ctype_ could not be located in the dynamic link libary cygwin1.dll. What's up here? Have I been a bad little programmer? Any suggestions welcome...

Even the Mingw GCC has been at 2.95.2 since 1999. Your first step should be to visit http://cygwin.com/ and install a recent version of Cygwin, including GCC. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
