Sounds to me like the problem is that the directory with 'cygwin1.dll' in it is missing from your path in whatever shell/console you're running 'jam.exe' from. If that's not true, perhaps it's best to back up and provide us with a step-by-step sequence that reproduces the problem in context. Having full path names with spaces in your path is not a guaranteed problem. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
