Please review the Cygwin problem reporting guidelines at
 to see what information is usually
requested when reporting Cygwin problems.  Particularly, you should have
provided the output of "cygcheck -svr" on your system as an uncompressed
text attachment to your message.

At a guess, you most likely have more than one Cygwin1.dll on your
machine.  Run the Windows Find (Start Menu->Search) and search for all
instances of Cygwin1.dll.  Delete all but the one in your Cygwin's /bin
directory, then you should be able to reinstall normally.

P.S. This is not a Cygwin/X problem, and thus belongs on the main Cygwin
list ().

something requires the new cygwin-1.5.12 which was apparently not updated at the
point where to postinstall scripts are running.

redoing the update should solve it.

_impure_ptr warning in install

[george young]

[Xwin 6.8.1.0-1, Windows XP pro 5.1, experienced with linux X, not a windows or 
cygwin hacker]

I just did a full uninstall of cygwin everything, using the setup program.
Then I installed:
[setup version 2.427, from mirror.mcs.anl.gov] 

base/  cygwin emu engine  1.5.12-1
X11/   X-start-menu-icons 1.0.3-2
   X-startup-scripts  1.0.10-2
   xorg-x11-base  6.8.1.0-1

net/   inetutils  1.3.2-28

interpreters/  python



During the install I several times got the message:

"The procedure entry point _impure_ptr could not be located in cygwin1.dll"

Is something broken in the current release?
