Well, we could, if you had followed directions to tell us what you had installed (by sending the output of 'cygcheck -svr' as a text attachment): > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html But my guess is that you failed to install the readline package (it is not a requirement to run various cygwin programs, but it is a requirement if you intend on compiling another application that links against readline). -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin readline maintainer -- 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/
