Right, that's "helpful" of it! That's clearly just a fail status but not an errno value. Anyway, I think your cygcheck reveals the problem. You have multiple cygwin1.dlls of different versions in your path at the same time. You also have a homebrew build of gcc 4.7 in your path, and it's using SJLJ exceptions rather than DW2, which means that its runtime DLLs will be incompatible with the standard system ones. Try removing the cygwin1.dll from C:\Windows\SYSTEM, and cutting C:\Users\XXXXXXXX\home\apps\gcc-4.7-20120128\bin out of your PATH, and see if that fixes it. cheers, DaveK -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
