The concise answer is already in *cygwin itself*. The FAQ could arguably be updated to say "delete the dll that is not in c:\cygwin\bin". I guess it is assuming that someone has actually taken the time to read the error that cygwin presents. However, again, this concise answer was mentioned in the email list and not followed. I don't know why anyone would view the FAQ as more authoritative than the people they are soliciting for help here. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
