I will steadfastedly refuse to document as a "FAQ" problems with broken software that installs their own version of the cygwin dll. This is nothing more than the standard multiple version of cygwin problem aggravated by software providers who are too lazy to figure out how to install their product without messing up a cygwin installation. Regardless of that, however, I don't believe that this qualifies as a "FAQ" since it hasn't been a frequently asked question. -- Christopher Faylor spammer? -> aaaspam AT sourceware DOT org Cygwin Co-Project Leader aaaspam AT duffek DOT com TimeSys, Inc. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
