Looking at the Configure script it appeared to be trying to do mkdir ../.config which failed. When I tried to do this manually it also failed!! In fact ls ../ didn't work! If, however I do ls ../ from the dos prompt it works fine. Is there some problem with file name resolution/globbing when running in 'UNIX' land?? I did a trace of ls (STRACE=5) and there is a line: \\.\d:\gnuwin32\b18\.\u:\gnu\perl\cygnus\perl5.004_01\ = conv_to_win32_path (../) Which to me looks very strange, ../ should be u:\gnu\perl\cygnus\perl5.004_01\ I would have thought. Any ideas??
