My Cygwin installation has been working just fine for many months. Today it
suddenly stopped working, with the dreaded "system shared memory version
mismatch detected" error.
I installed a copy of Exact Audio Copy and LAME today, so possibly one of
those triggered it?
I followed the instructions in the error message, and deleted all copies of
cygwin1.dll except the one in C:\cygwin\bin. (The only other ones were
basically backup copies. They had been there for ages and AFAIK were not
involved in the problem.) I then rebooted and tried again. Didn't help.
I dug around with Google, looked in the FAQ, etc, and removing extra
cygwin1.dll's & rebooting is all anybody suggests. If that doesn't help, what
do I do next?
I would like to just do an "update everything to current release" with
setup.exe, but I don't see any way to do that. What's the right way to update
all installed packages?
(I just found the gmane newsgroups. Can't post to them with NNTP or
post.gmane.org, and I haven't figured out yet how to get on the cygwin ML.
Please cc me at fritz at frii dot com.)
Thanks,
Gary
