Wait, you're doing a configure prior to the make clean. That could be the problem since the initial Cygwin makefile is a special make run that establishes the makefiles for the subdirectories. You should try moving the `make clean' before the configure and see if that helps. -- Earnie. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
