One caveat: the OP was concerned with cygwin-1.5.x, while 'Search Packages' only looks in the current release/ area AFAIK, which is for cygwin-1.7.x. There really is no easy method for searching the contents of packages in the release-legacy/ (e.g. 1.5.x) area. So, for 1.5.x, the OP should install the package zlib0-1.2.3-3 from the release-legacy/ area, rather than the 1.7.x package zlib0-1.2.5-1 from release/. I'm not sure how the OP will go about doing that, given that the proper procedure is highly dependent on which version of setup.exe he is using, and on which Windows version. More information is needed. -- Chuck -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
