Could it be that your rsyncd.exe was compiled against different versions of those libraries? Since you've already created a full Cygwin installation, I suggest starting by trying run the rsyncd that's in that. If that works, then you can go back to trying to extract just the pieces you need into a separate directory (or not). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
