SAME with irssi and such - you gotta take them out totally before you can do much else. and yes its a bunch of 3pp who did this - i just remember to take "c:\program files\irssi\bin\" or whatever out of my PATH. also, cygwin1.dll apparently does something to the registry? where it lives, it thinks that that is bin/ gah. hope that helps :) - -- Just a Thought Morgan Gangwere For those who want my PGP key: http://pengunassasin.kicks-ass.org/pgpKey.html ******* Wisdom for the day ******* * Dont rawquote - it gives * * spammers free bait! * ********************************** -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGXgSwCF9T/dUsmAgRAmPZAJ0bXE1ZEdsD3LPc+MDwnEx2QbtE3wCeKzih bJM3tiuVaqbdr5sq5xQ00yg= =2lkB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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/
