This could be a missing dll. Check if you maybe are missing cygintl-8.dll by running cygcheck `which gcc` If that shows it as missing you should be able to re-run setup.exe and just click 'Next' all the way through to get it to refresh any missing files from your installation. Otherwise, run cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and send the cygcheck.out file - as an attachment, please, not body text - to the list. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
