Did you read it? If, after reading the FAQ entry, you still >have questions or problems, please report them to the list. Apparently, this FAQ is accurate. The problem is, there are files installed into /usr/lib, which the mounts will override. See below.

I did, and setup.exe recreated the mounts. From the FAQ above, it seems this is the expected behavior. But it does not explain the files in the original directory. This is a list of those files: /usr/bin/glut32.dll /usr/lib/mingw/libglui.a /usr/lib/mingw/libgluix.a /usr/lib/libglui.a /usr/lib/libgluix.a I could not find any package that provides 'glut'. Should I just delete these files? --jc -- jching@adtech-inc.com Adtech, Inc.
