To all that suggested creating a /tmp directory; - Cheers, that sorted that problem out. To all that suggested I read the FAQ; - Have a look yourself, it inly mentions /tmp in relation to byacc (which I have never used under UNIX either) I had assumed (incorrectly) that the environment variable TEMP might be used by cygwin but apparently not. To all; - How about putting a section in the FAQ for 'Directory Structure Required' and an explanation of why each part may be required? I have just started using it so I'm not qualified but I'm sure there are plenty of you who are. Query; - Is there anything that is *known* to be problematic when trying to use sockets under cygwin? In particular I am getting errors that I can only attribute to missing declarations. Whether this is because of a missing include path or that the declarations just don't exist I am not sure. Anyway its beginning not to matter since I don't have enough time to get the socket++ library working at the moment, I'm going to have to rely on other win32 smtp clients that can be run through system() type calls. (unless sendmail is easy *ha!* to recompile) Thanks for the help, Nige Nigel Rantor - WEB Ltd e-mail - nigel AT bogo DOT co DOT uk tel - (+44|0)181-960-3050 fax - (+44|0)181-960-0825 "A logician trying to teach logic to a programmer is like a cat trying to tell a fish what its like to get wet." - unattributed - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
