Doh! That's it, yes. I don't know how that happened. But it did. BTW, though I've not seen it yet, this sort of dependency lookup problem can bite you on, for example, Solaris 8, where the link paths can reference $ORIGIN (the directory whence the binary came), as in '$ORIGIN/../lib'. Now I have a different problem: $ cd /usr/local $ ls etc include info lib libexec man sbin $ ls -d bin bin $ And I can't remove /usr/local/bin/cygwin1.dll. I think I'm headed for a complete reinstall here. > -- > brandon s. allbery [os/2][linux][solaris][japh] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > system administrator [WAY too many hats] [EMAIL PROTECTED] > electrical and computer engineering KF8NH > carnegie mellon university ["better check the oblivious first" -ke6sls] Thanks.
