I installed Cygwin back in February on my laptop. (Call this Cygwin A.)
I have not updated it (i.e., Cygwin A) since getting Python to run. Last
week, I obtained another laptop, which I installed Cygwin (from the
Internet) on last Thursday. (Call this Cygwin B.)
Cygwin Versions:
Cygwin A = the February 2005, version
Cygwin B = Thursday's, July 21, 2005 version
Last Friday, I built Python2.4 on Cygwin A with no errors. (The
socketmodule worked and I can import socket.) I also built Python2.4 on
newer version of Cygwin (i.e., Cygwin B), but the socketmodule doesn't
work. I get an error message when importing socket. The Python2.4 is the
same for both. The only difference is in the Cygwin version. That is,
the version I installed from the internet in February and the version I
installed last Thursday.
When installing from the internet, there is no way to specify which
version (or date) of Cygwin to download. I was wondering if you kept
version controls, so I could go back to the February version of Cygwin
since I know the Python Socket Module works.

The above is building Python.

Thanks. I will try this and see if this gets around my problem.
Thanks again for any help on this
