Doing a fresh cygwin install on a machine using OS: WinXP, service pack 2 the cygwin1.dll could not be found. The newly installed/latest cygwin did therefore not function. 2. We reverted then to an older downloaded cygwin which we with success have installed on a number of PCs. After installing this on the new machine we get the following message when starting a bash terminal: "The procedure entry point _impure_ptr could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll". 3. Clicking through these error messages (caused by uname.exe, tty,exe,hostname.exe, sort.exe,cat.exe and id.exe) everything appears to be fine. Info: We compared the WinXPs for the machines, it appears that the newest machine is using WinXP Service Pack 2 as opposed to SP1 for the others where we got no failure messages. Does anyone know why this is happening Regards Torfinn Ottesen -- 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/
