Have I been a bad little programmer? You seem to have a very old installation. The current Cygwin Bash is 2.05 and the Cygwin GCC 2 has been 2.95.2 or .3 for ages. Even the Mingw GCC has been at 2.95.2 since 1999. Your first step should be to visit http://cygwin.com/ and install a recent version of Cygwin, including GCC. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
