I tried each of your suggestions, and they did not help it install. I also tried cygcheck again, and it did not run any better. Any other ideas? I'm at a loss right now. -- 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
