I'm running latest Cygwin under Windows XP Pro (SP2, with all
updates). I installed all the Singular packages via Cygwin Setup.
After I start cygwin with its bash shell, command
Singular
gives error:
Singular " signal 11 (v: 3001/2005111410):

(The number after "r:" changes depending on what else is running in
windows.) But Cygwin never recovers, and it freezes.
At first I tried uninstalling Singular, downloading the Singular
packages again, and re-installing; same error. I completely
uninstalled Cygwin, downloaded Cygwin again including the Singular
packages, and re-installed. Same error.
On the other hand, if I go to the subdirectory lib\Singular of the
main cygwin directory and double-click Singular.exe, then Singular
does run, in a DOS command prompt window (although I see message
"cannot open `standard.lib'".
So the bug seems to be somewhere in the interface between Singular
and cygwin. Any ideas of how to proceed. (I did report this bug on
the Singular web site a couple days ago but have had no response.)
Does a recent snapshot make a difference?

If not, please read and follow the problem reporting guidelines at:

Thanks for your reply that suggests to try a recent snapshot.
Unfortunately, I don't know whether the various, latest "snapshot" files
will help, since I haven't a clue which one or ones to download or, once
I've downloaded, what to do with it/them!
I see nothing on the snapshots page (to which the URL you supplied
points) about how to use these files.
I'm a very experience computer user, but I need guidance here!
See the FAQ entry:
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.snapshots>
This has the proper steps to follow to install a snapshot.
