Why is setup.exe downgrading my packages?

2007-02-01 Thread Mattias Brändström
Hello! I have a quick question about setup.exe. Why is setup.exe trying to downgrade some packages (e.g. libpq4) when I install other packages. It's annoying. :-) I'm in the situation that I need both libpq-devel-8.1.4 and libpq4-8.1.4 for psycopg2 (python postgresql lib) to work. Whenever I ins

Hello! I want to write some C++ programs that use boost and compile them using cygwin. What is the recomended way of doing this? Usually when I use the boost libraries (on Fedora Core) I would be able to link my program using gcc by providing -lboost_date_time on the command line. With cygwi

Hi! I have some questions about how cygwin determines what user I am logged in as on my Win2000 machine. I have installed cygwin on my Win2000 machine and I am logged on that one as DOMAIN/userx. DOMAIN/userx is not a local user for my machine but a user in the domain DOMAIN. Now when I start
