If you go to http://cygwin.com/ and look under "...isn't it?" you'll see: Cygwin is not: * a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. You must rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows. If file says "ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386 version 1 (GNU/Linux)", it means it's a Linux file. That means that you have to build a Cygwin/Windows version of bircd. What you have is not a Cygwin version. cgf -- 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
