I got a little bit confused now. Should I report now upstream at Perl that Configure has a problem by adding .exe, or is it just a problem with your layout? AFAIK perl does not symlink tr.exe, just its own files when using -Dmksymlinks. And failing to read a wrong tr.exe symlink does not look like perls fault. -- Reini Urban -- 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
