Thank you and Bryan as well. Your suggestions solved the issue and I also read the related Cygwin article to better understand what the fuss is all about. The cookbook solution is especially effective. I have 2 follow-up questions if you may: 1. Should I repeat the rebase each time I upgrade a give cygwin lib or util? 2. Do you happen to know when will Cygwin include the rebase so that it's no longer required to perform this manually? Thanks! Yosi -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
