I have searched the archives. I even saw where you posted to someone else earlier to search the archives! I found one message that said to make sure the win32api is installed which it is (I even reinstalled it, bin, not src). And another that says to check the setup.ini file and look at the req's for gcc and I have ash, binutils, cygwin, gcc, mingw and win32api installed.
I tempted to just install all packages, but of course I wouldn't know what was the missing package or even if that would fix the problem. I found one message that said to download the ming libraries from the mingw website and install them manually??? Installing through the cygwin setup.exe utility doesn't work? If so, then why would mingw be there to install? And if this is asked so often, shouldn't there be a note about it somewhere to filter out the newbies like myself? Sorry for the rant, and I'm sure the people on the list see this question many times a month. I should have posted the stuff I found in the archive and what I had already done first. I am tempted to just install ALL of Cygwin and try it again.
