Well, as they say, no good deed goes unpunished. It was nice of Corinna to suggest about BLODA based on the meager input you supplied. But the usual way to provide input for Cygwin problem solution is linked at the bottom of every posting to this mailing list: > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html If you had read that page, you would have known about running 'cygcheck -s -v -r' which does a standardized accounting of your Cygwin installation. Among other things, it would tell you about any additional cygwin1.dlls and where they are. There is no need for setup.exe to duplicate that work. Good to hear your installation is operational now. ..mark -- 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
