Use "tar xvzf meep-0.10.1.tar.gz" in a bash shell instead. Guess #2: If it's not that, you may have installed cygwin in textmode, or be unpacking your tarball on a textmode mountpoint. Please run "cygcheck -srv > cygcheck.out" in a bash shell, and post the resulting cygcheck.out file - as an *attachment*, please - to the list. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
