I managed to get it installed without major problems. Did you follow the hints in the README.cygwin32 file. You may also want to look at the cygwin32 file under hints to make sure that the paths are correct for library and header files. This may solve your build problem. I had to alter the installperl script in order for things to work. Also, when perl was installed via the install program that came with GNU-Win32 b18, all I could get out of perl was a "This program cannot be run in MSDOS mode" error. I copied the executable straight from the build directory and it works fine... ------------------------------------------------------- Bryan T.
