Subject: Running a program using a DLL under Cygwin
Reply-To: cygwin@cygwin.com, Rainer.Woitok@gmail.com

Greetings,

I'm running  a program which requires a DLL  sitting in my "~/bin/" dir-
ectory.  Since "~/bin/" is contained  in my "PATH" environment variable,
everything works  as desired.   Recently I moved  the DLL elsewhere, re-
placing it with a symbolic link in "~/bin/".  This caused the program to
fail to locate the DLL.  Moving the DLL back in place caused the program
to work again.

Is this a Windows problem  (since DLLs are Windows  rather than Unix) or
Cygwin's?   The link was created with the normal  "ln -s" command.  And,
if that matters, Cygwin is running on Vista here.

Sincerely,
  Rainer

PS: Please also reply  to me personally,  as I'm not  subscribed to this
list.
