Hi,

Sorry to hear about your difficulties.

I posted a few weeks (?) back about a similar problem. FWIW, I did have 
success under Cygwin but something broke it either with additions from 
DotGNU or changes to Cygwin or a combination of the two!

I had a look at the Cygwin UGs and people were experiencing funny 
problems which showed themselves in ways that were nothing to do with 
the root cause. You might like to see what the state of things are by 
mailing:

         address@hidden

This is a digest of bug reports BTW.

Cygwin is clever stuff, and mighty useful for those (many!) times when 
Windows is just not up to the job.

Anyway, I gave up eventually and shifted over to Linux (RH 8.0) which is 
about 10 times faster anyway so you might have a good excuse to go for 
that solution.



Hope this helps

Ian
