Thanks for the info about mount points - it didn't cross my mind that /usr/lib might be a separate mount. $ df would have answered that, eh? The rest remains, I think. The cygcrypto.dll is loaded with the openSSL0.9.6 but the default install gives a later version with no cygcrypto.dll. I've got rebase installed and I'm sure the call is wrong in the post install script. Also, if a Windoze loading mechanism is used then /usr/lib/... can't be seen without first mounting the 'volume' I think. If the apxs call went wrong I can find no error log - but then I'm probably looking in the wrong place. In any case the libphp4.dll is not copied. So there we have it - it's past my competence point, I fear!
