Any postinstall scripts probably do, but they should be able to find the dll if the rest of the installation isn't corrupted. Try re-installing the cygwin package from the local directory using setup.exe, then exit setup.exe and run it again to re-install your other packages. Not using setup.exe makes it much harder for anyone here to help and most of us won't try. http://cygwin.com/bugs.html may help you track this down further.

I think Win98 and WinME still use autoexec.bat for setting global environment variables. It should be a text file in any case. Adding c:\cygwin\bin to your global %PATH% is useful for normal operations, but it should not affect setup.exe or any postinstall scripts. > Should I be running SETUP.EXE via a Windows shortcut in order to set a PATH > private to that DOS window? If so, what settings are needed? It shouldn't matter. I have a copy of setup.exe in the base directory of my local package archive cache tree (i.e., local directory) with a shortcut pointing to it, but you should be able to run it from anywhere by any means you like. -- 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.
