I don't know why yours is going this route in configure. I don't see this myself. You can try adding the '-C' flag after './configure' to see if this helps. You may also want to attach the output of cygcheck -srv. This is basic info but perhaps there's something basic wrong. ;-) Larry Biederman, Steve wrote: > When I attempt to run configure, I get: > > $ ./configure CFLAGS=-g > configure: loading cache /dev/null > .: ./configure 1126: /dev/null: not found > > -----Original Message----- > From: Larry Hall [mailto:cygwin-lh AT cygwin DOT com] > Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 12:13 PM > To: Biederman, Steve > Cc: 'cygwin AT cygwin DOT com' > Subject: Re: tar 1.13.25 runs forever and produces nothing on this test > ca se > > > We'll make a developer out of you yet! :-) > > You'll need to run setup and install the 'gcc' package (not > gcc2) and the 'gdb' package.
