(thanks for all that.... :-) ... ...when i had to move Cygwin to another drive (C:\ --> F:\). Used an 'Explorer' move (Mmmm...) and re-set registry settings, etc. Now rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty test (test is just a test directory with a text file in there) does absolutely nothing! And if I use deltree it's starts refusing to accept my answer to "delete all?" :-/ Did Explorer mess up my file permissions, etc? regards barney M holmes ps. everyhting else going fine. As a novice compiler it's great to be running configure scripts, etc, even if it sometimes gets a bit beyond me. I compiled wget and have a semi working version of xpdf, as well now regularly downloading prog sources instead of just hitting the 'download binary' as i always used to ;-> -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
