Having two Cygwin DLLs of any flavors on the same system is generally not a good idea; one of the more frequent problems people run into is when the different versions conflict. It looks like your mysql installation includes some programs compiled to use the older DLL. Maybe some of them are being used instead of the new Cygwin programs. File permission handling has changed since B19, so that might be the problem. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
