You *may* have to throw away some of the downloaded packages, but only if you downloaded from a corrupt mirror. Unfortunately, you haven't provided the information necessary for this list to determine which mirror you used or what the state of your system is (see <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> for details). BTW, if I understand correctly, the above paragraph was intended to ward off the "blow away your Cygwin and reinstall" type of advice. FWIW, reinstalling doesn't involve redownloading the packages -- setup.exe will use the local versions if present. > So could you please help me to get compilation running.

Look in the config.log file that is produced by configure for the exact error. Also, check that a simple "hello world" program can be compiled with gcc and executed. > When I search the net, I found two solutions for similar problems, > package missing or compiler broken.

I installed "gcc (GCC) 3.3.1 (cygming special)", where can I > download 2.95.3? You're making an assumption here that may not be valid. Please review the problem reporting instructions at the link above, and see if config.log sheds any light on this. > cygcheck -c > Cygwin Package Information > Package Version Status > [snip] Oh, and in the future, please *attach* the output of cygcheck, since including it inline produces false positives on archive searches.
