Evidently. ;-> You need to look recursively at the '^requires: ' line of setup.ini. Vim: alternatives bash libiconv2 libintl8 libncursesw10 vim-common => vim-common: bash gawk perl xxd => perl: libssp0 libgcc1 libgdbm4 libdb4.5 crypt libbz2_1 perl_vendor _autorebase => perl_vendor: perl libssp0 libgcc1 libbz2_1 zlib0 libopenssl100 libncurses10 libreadline7 libncursesw10 libxml2 libiconv2 libexpat1 _autorebase Etc. Doing a complete analysis is left as an exercise for [ the reader | insomniacs | the masochistic ]. (That's why we let setup do it.) -- 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
