Word of caution: Anti-virus software can cause ill results during the configure process if it is opening files as they are being created to scan them. You should tell the anti-virus software to ignore your work directory. I myself have a NAT disk that I tell my anti-virus to not scan that disk during the automated scan. > BTW, I was running good old 32-bit WinXP Pro SP3. > It doesn't matter which OS, the anti-virus is a bad thing for configure and make. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd -- 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
