Any advice would be greatly appreciated. GNU Octave should not be doing what it is doing (I hope that they are providing the sources for the cygwin that you are providing).

You should contact them. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
