Mine is at C:\cygwin.

I first ran 'attrib cygwin' to see what was already there:

C:\>attrib cygwin
             C:\cygwin

I then ran 'attrib -r cygwin' (even though it doesn't appear to be readonly 
to begin with).

That errors out as follows:

Rob AT desktop2 /
$ chmod 777 .
chmod: changing permissions of `.': Permission denied

After all that I get:

Rob AT desktop2 /
$ ls -alrt
total 165

and running 'make' terminates as before.

This is a fairly new installation of Cygwin, btw. (I stuffed up the old one 
trying to install rsync and had to delete the lot.) So there could be some 
additional stuff here that needs sorting out. I have, however, already built 
some perl extensions using the 5.8.8 build that was installed when I created 
this fresh build of Cygwin.

And the fact that I can build 5.8.8 from source, but not 5.10.0 leads me to 
wonder whether this is instead a query that should be raised on p5p ?

Thanks for the reply, Matthew ... appreciated.

Cheers,
Rob
