I suggest reading through all the posts in the thread, particularly the recent ones: If you're still having problems, I recommend you update to the most recent Cygwin DLL if you're not running it already. If that's still no help, I point you back to my recommendation about submitting a full problem report with cygcheck output as described by the link I provided above. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- 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
