This will give you some output that should help and keep it on the screen long enough for you to read it and frame it. ;-) If you're still having problems figuring out what to do, please read and follow the problem reporting guidelines found here: > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html My WAG is the installation isn't quite right/complete. If this is true, try running through 'setup.exe' again without selecting any new packages and see if that helps. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
