Looks like it incorrectly picked up cygintl-3.dll for cc1.exe the last time it was built. But looking at the setup.hint files, it correctly says that it depends on it. So if you were installing gcc, you would get the libintl3 package if it existed on the mirror you chose. I do notice, however, that gcc has a dependency on cygintl-8.dll but doesn't show the dependency in the setup.hint file. Dave, can you review this and see if the setup.hint files need to be updated? -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
