I've had rebaseall fail with error 6, even when (as far as I knew) there were no running processes that had any Cygwin DLL mapped. (I also made sure the DLL was writable). Out of frustration I completely uninstalled, then reinstalled, all of Cygwin, and that fixed the problem :-) I now suspect that rebooting would have sufficed.
(But I don't regret reinstalling -- for some reason it's much faster now, even though I'm using the same versions of all the DLLs) -- Software is largely a service industry operating under the persistent but unfounded delusion that it is a manufacturing industry. -- Eric Raymond -- 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/
