I agree, it's not Octave's fault :-) However, Octave is the only application I can find that fails cygcheck: gcc, perl, python, vim, ls, locate, whatever I could think of, all generate a list of dlls when I run cygcheck. I was surprised by the path. My base windows path has a single instance of cygwin\bin. I have no idea why there are multiples (perhaps leftover cruft from earlier installations?). I'm not sure I see why multiple sets of a correct path would cause problems. Zonealarm can cause problems, yes, but again I'm not sure I understand why zonealarm would discriminate against cygcheck octave, as opposed to cygcheck everything else. Anyway, thank you very much for your help. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Octave-3.0.1-exits-without-a-prompt%2C-no-error-message-tp19405952p19418939.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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/
