To whom it may concern,I am trying to run a program that requires both the bash shell and tcsh shell of Cygwin, along with many different tools that are not part of the default installation package. I had installed the default cygwin a few months ago, and then last night I updated my installation to add the dos2unix tools (namely, I needed d2u.exe, diff.exe, sdiff.exe and u2d.exe, which I was able to add in the update). I am still missing the tools ar.exe and make.exe. However, when I added the tools, I also started getting the following error message in my cygwin window upon startup. 1 [main] uname (1516) C:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin\uname.exe: *** fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x1802E1408/0x1802DD408. This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL. Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version *should* reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have installed the cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you are unable to find another cygwin DLL. -bash: [: =: unary operator expected 1 [main] sed (5160) C:\cygwin64\usr\local\bin\sed.exe: *** fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x1802E1408/0x1802DD408.

In summary, I am asking if someone will help me clear up these error messages and also tell me which packages I need to install to get the tools ar.exe and make.exe.
Your cygcheck output (as well as the paths in the error messages above) seem to show that you have a Cygwin installation in C:\cygwin64\usr\local, nested in your original installation in C:\cygwin64. I suggest that you get rid of that. Then reinstall whatever packages you installed last night (being careful to specify C:\cygwin64 as the root). Finally, make.exe is in the "make" package, and ar.exe is in the "binutils" package. You can answer questions like this yourself by using the search facility at https://cygwin.com/packages/ .
