What if it is 127 and the dialog says "The procedure entry point=20 __locale_ctype_ptr could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll"? That looks like an outdated cygwin1.dll w.r.t. that program (in this=20 case gdb). But why doesn't setup.exe ensure that cygwin1.dll is up-to-date for=20 other things it installs? -- 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
