[*] Nope. The message was very clear. He provided cygcheck output from the nonstandard distribution, in fact. This isn't a democracy where you get a vote about how to use this mailing list. Once again, if the OP wants support for packages that weren't installed from the official distribution he shouldn't look for it here. Yes, if the OP wants to reinstall a new cygwin installation from http://cygwin.com/ then of course we'd support it.
