My problem is the following: I gunzip/untar You can use ls -l, the information about the uid and gid are stubbed. You can have a /etc/passwd and /etc/group file, for the uid/gid matching the stub it will print out the info in ls -l. You cannot effectively use chmod or chgrp. >a source distribution in which the configure script (and it's subscripts... otherwise >I could do a "sh configure") are in mode 644 as opposed to 755.

Does the configure script contain an initial line of #!/bin/sh ? Have you upgraded your cygwinb19.dll file? If not there is a b19.1 version of the cygwinb19.dll. What does your CYGWIN32 environment variable contain? How are your directories "mounted"? > >Thanks. >glen >-- >Glen E.
