Chris, I ran into a similar problem[1] this *just* yesterday. With the help of the Cygwin FAQ, I remembered that symlinks are expected to have the DOS/NT system attribute set. I launched command.com, changed the directory c:\cygwin\usr\i686-pc-cygwin, and ran 'attrib', and as.exe did not have the system attribute set. I then ran 'attrib +s *.exe' from command.com, and retried my compile, and it started working again. So, somehow the system attribute is getting wiped out after installation. I'll look into it some more and post anything I find. [1] - I'm using gcc-3, and Brendan is using gcc-2, but I guess the problem is independent of gcc version. -- Dario Alcocer -- Sr. Software Developer, Helix Digital Inc.
