Thanks Christopher, Sorry I did take it a wee bit personally, cheers for clarifying :) At the moment I'm out of my depth with the whole cygwin mingw stuff. I had thought that by modifying my etc/profile to pick up mingw istead of the GCC bundled in cygwin I would still be able to use the cygwin

Hello, Thanks to both of you for replying. I had always just thought that mingw was a compiler that I could use in cygwin environment, and that there would be some wee config trick that I could get it to pick up flex and guile libraries. Am I being super thick? Cheers Mark _
