I know what's happened: you used a windows program such as winzip or similar to unpack the archive, and it's gone and "helpfully" munged all the line endings for you. Use 'tar xvfz gdb-7.3.1.tar.gz' at the Cygwin shell command-line and you'll get a correctly unpacked version. (There definitely aren't CRLFs in the upstream release of the configure scripts.) Windows GUI-based archivers are well known for causing this problem. (Also, if you think that Eric's reply was "acrimonious", you're just having some sort of using-language-in-different-ways communication problem. I saw it earlier and it seemed perfectly polite and proper to me, I honestly can't see what about it would offend you.) cheers, DaveK -- 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
