That's all I meant by the phrase. I put a "-lcygwin" just in front of the "-lncurses".

I already did so. Have a look at the "typescript1" attachment in my original posting. gdb just issues an error that I cannot understand. But I even get that same gdb error when I try to debug my running "hello world" program. Thus I suppose it has something to do with gdb. A different problem. That I why I inserted a printf() statement right at the beginning of the main() function. Ciao Hans -- GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
