Cygwin setup versions are 1.5.17-1 and 1.5.15-1.
I have a screen shot of all the errors up if you want
to see that showing it on mhash.
If you state that /usr/share/mc/syntax/xml.syntax is
not in the mhash package then how, if I unselect the
mhash package, does it install just fine on both
versions? I am not trying to question you, it is just
confusing to me.
Cygcheck, I have not used that to tell you the truth.
Just let me know what you need and I can try and get
it for you.
