Since Rational claims that it only works with Visual C++ 5.0 and 6.0, I'm not surprised that it doesn't work with Cygwin. Purify is a very intrusive tool (OCI and all that), and needs quite a bit of knowledge of runtime libs, and especially the memory manager used which for Cygwin is dramatically different from MSVC's. Perhaps speak with your customer rep at Rational? Regards, Mumit -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
