I downloaded and successfully installed the cpan win32api module. Then I tried the libwin module (for the NetAdmin stuff). This failed when I did a make "Separator Missing". I looked in the make file at the line specified and only found tabs so I do not know what is wrong. Before I go any further will it be possible to get this running on cygwin? Will I be able to do things like NetAdmin::GetUsers and other NT user base things? I am running cygwin on NT Server 4.0 sp 6. Also is cygwin like another operating system? Meaning could I download a binary compiled for redhat linux in to cygwin and get it to work?? Thanks, Louis -- ~~~~~~__ __ ~~~~~/ / / / ~~~~/ / / /___ (_)__ __ ~~~/ /_/ / _ \/ / \ \/ / ~~~\___ /_/ /_/_/ /_/\_\ 中滌`偕爻,虜,齯滌`偕爻齯滌`偕爻,虜,齯滌`偕爻齯滌`偕中滌`偕中 Louis Bohm Systems Manager Lightbridge, Inc. 781.359.4795 http://www.lightbridge.com mailto:lbohm AT lightbridge DOT com Free Tivoli scripts can be found at http://www.microgeek.com 中滌`偕爻,虜,齯滌`偕爻齯滌`偕爻,虜,齯滌`偕爻齯滌`偕中滌`偕中 -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
