Your mc package is very old -- "libz.dll" is no longer supplied, and anything built on cygwin in the last eight months would require the NEW name, "cygz.dll". "libz.dll" is not supplied by cygwin-XFree86 either. The only thing I can suggest is to download the -src.rpm and rebuild it yourself. --Chuck -- 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/
