No, it's just a problem with the cygwin release. S_incpush in perl.c only looks for the full archname ("cygwin-thread-multi-64int") and revision.patchlevel.subversion ("5.8.7") as subdirectories, but we are setting things to make makemaker install modules using just 5.8 and cygwin, even when a PREFIX is specified (not sure if this applies to INSTALL_BASE as well). Some changes to Configure are needed to make this cleaner. -- 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/
