Thanks for the clues. The problem seems to be absence of
cygcrypt-0.dll, apparently a familiar trouble point. Both cygcheck and
strace found the library missing.
I have checked my file hierarchy, and have not found the library,
neither in /bin/ nor in /usr/bin. An old posting refers to it as a
member of the crypt-package in the Libs-category, but that package is
not part of my distribution. Installation of libcrypt* libraries did
not help either.
Mirrors presumably all carry the same distributions, but if I'm wrong
please let me know.
Where do I find the ... library?
Jørgen
