Hi All I have resorted to attempting a fresh install of a base Cygwin because I suddenly started getting cygheap errors (after year of use) when I launched the cygwin terminal window.Im pretty sure it was related to a non-Cygwin dll, PGHook.dll, that had grabbed a slot at 0x61100000 thus crowding out cygwin1.dll from its preferred base address of 0x61000000. This displacement however undermines a successful install also , as post install scripts try to execute. (See error snippet below). Visited: 49 nodes out of 49 while creating dependency order.

Things to try, in order of preference: 1. Uninstall Avecto Privilege Guard. 2. Disable the Windows service that loads PGHook.dll. 3. Rebase PGHook.dll to a new location. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- 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
