This still just hangs my system by creating many /bin/sh and gcc jobs. What am I supposed to be seeing for output? If I set the PATH to just /usr/bin, I see: User Override Compilers: 'none' : 'none' '-fno-common' 'none' : 'none' '-fno-common' 'none' : 'none' '-fno-common' 'none' : 'none' '-fno-common' 'none' : 'none' '-fno-common' 'none' : 'none' '-fno-common' 'none' : 'none' '-fno-common' 'none' : 'none' '-fno-common' and then no more output until I have to restart the machine due to excessive process creation. 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
