Hi -- 

 I have experienced the same problem
under WindowsME, since the two
releases after Sept 20th. I do not get
the fopen error, but I do experience
the getreent error.
 Complete reinstallation, including
redownloading setup.exe does not work.
The complaint about cygwin1.dll
remains and the shell doesn't launch.
 I was just about to post a similiar
report; here it is:

 Cygwin fails to start on WinME. This
is after the 2 latest releases:
starting on the September 20 release
and the current.
 I have tried reinstalling Cygwin more
than one, re-downloading, etc, but to
no avail.
 The error msg I get (translated from
Portuguese) is:


"The file BASH.EXE is linked to the
(to a) CYGWIN1.DLL export file that
was not found: __getreent."

 I have Cygwin in C:\cygwin

 However, the CYGWIN1.dll is placed
right under C:\cygwin\bin

 Could this have something to do with
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable? However,
in my previous installation, I don't
remember fiddling with this variable...

This is the CYGWIN .bat file

@echo off

C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

bash --login -i

PATH

c:\bin\emacs-21.2:c:\cygwin\bin:c:\cygwin\usr\bin:c:cygwin\usr\local\bin;C:\Perl\bin\;c:\ruby\bin;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\texmf\miktex\bin;C:\POSSUM5\jmf;C:\POSSUM5\poet\bin;C:\POSSUM5\java\bin;C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\bin;%PATH;C:\sml\bin;C:\bin\Mozart\bin;C:\pp\bin\win32

HOME	c:\cygwin\home	<DEFAULT>

I do not have a CYGWIN variable, as
mentioned in the User Guide:

C:\> set CYGWIN=tty notitle glob

but that doesn't work when I use it on
the DOS prompt.

The CYGWIN1.dll is version 1003.22.0.0 

Any help appreciated, because I'm
/seriously/ stuck.
