I run setup. choose a mirror and select to install the Devel category. The downloading seems to go fine but after a while a dialog is shown: "The procedure entry point getline could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll!" I click ignore. Then after the installation I try to use make install for lxr. It fails with the same error dialog as the installation.

You have an older version of cygwin1.dll in your path.

Also, it's generally recommended that you do a standard installation, and then go through setup a second time to add in the packages you want in addition to the defaults...

What was the title of the popup box (in other words, which app reported this message)? getline() is not present in 1.5.18, only in snapshots. Did you, perchance, install coreutils-5.90-2, which relies on a snapshot being installed?

Not only will it make future upgrades hard, it will also not fix the problem, since, as Eric said, this is a legitimate message that resulted from installing an experimental version of the coreutils package. To reiterate: there is *NEVER*[*] any reason to copy cygwin1.dll anywhere but the directory mounted as /bin. Doing so will only break your Cygwin installation.

NO! If you want to use the cygwin1.dll that's a part of cygwin, add cygwin\bin to your path (drive letter omitted here). Then you just make sure and remove any cygwin1.dll's from apps you install. That way you're always using the most up to date one, and never have a conflict between the version cygwin has installed and what you have in your windows directory.
