This warning seems to be because cygcheck.sh looked both in the current directury (which was cygwin/bin, because if I invoke from elsewhere I get the warning "Warning: cygwin1.dll not found on your path") and in cygwin/bin. > Did you search for > these? > > I see that you have the native windows version of texlive installed. > That might be where the extra cygwin1.dll is coming from (if you have > the asymptote package installed). I did check for other cygwin1.dll. I only found one in c:\Program Files (x86)\TomTom Home 2\ext2fs, but I renamed it and I made sure that the TomTom program is not running, so I don't see how that dll could be loaded. (I don't have the asymptote package installed.) Eugen (PS.
