It really should be done by chroot or some postinstall fixup, so that the runtime loadpath is not compromised. I also don't like what other distros have in their runtime loadpath. Maybe they don't care so much about useless stat's in non-existing dirs, because stat is so much faster on their OS. But now that 5.10 is officially out I'm trying it again over the weekend. -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ http://helsinki.at/ http://spacemovie.mur.at/ -- 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/
