It doesn't really matter what version of the DLL you have. The one you just installed with the setup program from cygwin.com (you did use the setup program from cygwin.com, right?) is the right version. Any others that aren't in the bin directory of your new Cygwin installation are outdated. They apparently either appear in your path before your new Cygwin installation or are already loaded into memory by some running app. Either way, find them and nuke them. You don't need them and doing so will get rid of this very ancient message (from some very ancient cygwin1.dlls you have). Anything that's dependent on the old cygwin1.dlls will run with your new one. -- Larry -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
