The dependencies are not ?published/explicit/known? The cygwin developers and list will ONLY provide support for a download and install of ALL the packages. Any one want to add to this? I think I remember a thread that discussed that the dependencies among the packages would be added to setup functionality in the future (probably waiting for a volunteer to do this). -Peter -----Original Message----- From: Becker, Brian W [mailto:Brian DOT Becker AT MW DOT Boeing DOT com] Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2001 2:06 PM To: 'Peter Buckley' Subject: RE: FW: Crash on setup- Cygwin After several iterations I was finally able to get the utilities I needed, only to get an error when starting any of the utilities that "cygwin1.dl could not be found in the specified path", and indeed, the dll is not present on my system. I did not load all the utilities, just find utilities, gawk, grep and sed (and later bash when I found the startup script needed this). What other utilities do I need to install in order to get everything I need to run?
