That's true, though I am being a little sarcastic. :-) I was just pointing out that if there is a solution to a problem that works, it's better to use it than not. I won't comment on whether or not this information is helpful since that's subjective. Those that find the information unhelpful are certainly free to ignore it. > It seems to me rebaseall is not the best solution long-term, though it > does work as an immediate fix. The issue is well stated here: > http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-10/msg00873.html You are right. I should have said this is the right solution when you have these kinds of problems. The alternate solution mentioned by Brian is done at the package level and will generally make this problem disappear transparently for packages that use it. It must be implemented on a package by package basis and eventually all packages that come from the Cygwin distribution will use this. This won't replace the need for 'rebaseall' though. It will just mitigate it (with some significance), at least for those packages that come as part of the distribution. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
