Apart from that, your packaging is wrong. You've put everything under /usr/local/astrometry, but for an official distro package, you should follow the usual directory layout as outlined in http://cygwin.com/setup.html#package_contents Nothing ever in the distro should go into /usr/local. That dir is reserved for *local* stuff on the user's machine. UI binaries under /usr/bin, include files under /usr/include/astrometry, helper stuff under /usr/share/astrometry, etc. Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
