OK. So my pointer only answered part of the question. You'll have to forgive me but I didn't know what ldconfig did so I couldn't expound further. Let me say this. Windows has DLLs, not shared libraries. So unless ldconfig understands DLLs, it won't be much help to you (or your porting effort will be significant! ;-) ) HTH, Larry Hall [EMAIL PROTECTED] RFK Partners, Inc. http://www.rfk.com 838 Washington Street (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office Holliston, MA 01746 (508) 893-9889 - FAX -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
