The above is due to the Cygwin rebase issue: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:cygwin.com+rebase&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&start=10&sa=N > > I'm wondering if there's any chance you may have attempted to build/load > this module yourself, No. > and if so, which caveats you were able to overcome.

Maybe someone on the list has built or attempted to build Cygwin PyOpenGL before.

I'm sorry my plate is full -- actually, overflowing. Maybe someone on the list has the same itch and some spare cycles.
