Could you post the output the command `cygcheck -svr' so your problem can be diagnosed better.

What mirror are you using? Right. This may be the most important piece of information. That and /var/log/setup.log*. If 'make' isn't shown as a package being installed, you don't have it. Of course, the output of 'cygcheck -srv' will tell you whether 'make' was installed but if it isn't, the log files will tell you if it was supposed to be installed from what you picked. If it's not installed and the log doesn't tell you it was supposed to be, you need to check to see if the mirror(s) you picked have the package. There are occasions where some mirrors are incomplete. See to find the package which contains 'make' if you're not sure what it is. If the mirror you're using has the package, make sure you do select it when you install via setup. If the mirror doesn't have the package, add another mirror to your list of mirrors until you find one that does have the package. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
