What if it is 127 and the dialog says "The procedure entry point __locale_ctype_ptr could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll"? That looks like an outdated cygwin1.dll w.r.t. that program (in this case gdb). But why doesn't setup.exe ensure that cygwin1.dll is up-to-date for other things it installs? -- 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
