Steve,

Just for interest, I compiled the latest cvs source (ccvs 1.10.7.1) and it
compiled perfectly with no errors. (Although I do get a warning about some
new feature not activated, it is significantly faster)

As stated previously, I have Cygwin CD Version 1 (retail package) and since
I installed it, my setup problems have reduced significantly.  It does not
solve all problems and has its own problems, but for me, I have never looked
back since installing it.  (Pity there is no patches for the cd released
other than snapshots).

Anyway, I think your problems will go away if you reinstall your setup from
*scratch* and install the "full" latest snapshot (not just the cygwin1.dll).

Just my opinion

Trevor
