That's the only way I've ever installed cygwin. I have rerun and rerun and rerun setup ... more than a half dozen times just this go around ... dozens and dozens of times on various machines over the last few years. Every single install I recall has missed something. It's always been a matter of how much annoyance I could tolerate. An absence of grep far exceeds the limit - and so I make inquiry. Following the instructions on that web page Larry gave me, I've completely eradicated cygwin from my machine and begun the reinstall (30% complete). I should know very shortly whether this will work. Also, it turns out there was indeed a cygwin1.dll loaded with xgobi (an app I only used a short while and then forgot about). k -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
