One more follow-up: I'm not sure what I did, however I tried it while logged in as an administrative user on my Win2K box (where all this started). It built re-basable.
So, I tried again while logged in as a non-admin (same test as I ran nearer the start of this thread). But this time, it builds re-basable! Don't have any idea at all why it didn't work before but now it does. Not sure if I care, unless it happens again. I will make every effort to verify re-basability before releasing new versions, just in case this crops up again... Thanks for your help, --Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Roth, Kevin P.

Well, I'm no closer to understanding why it didn't work on my Win2k box at work. However, at home on my WinXP-pro box, it builds re-basable with no difference in how I did it. The only thing I can think of is that on my Win2k box, I don't usually log in as an administrator; on my WinXP box, I also don't, but I did while I ran this test... I'll give it a try as an administrative account on Win2k and see if that makes any difference - if so I'll let you all know. Of course, you can expect my next curl package update to be built on my WinXP box ;-) They're testing a new release now, so it should be within a couple weeks. > > Also, if testing for rebase-ability is simple, could you let me know > > how?
