strace isn't a cygwin application so something is really strange here. Can you run cygcheck.exe? That's not a cygwin app either. Maybe one of the utilities at the http://sysinternals.com/ site will help. Otherwise, it sounds a little like you have more than one copy of the DLL on your system. The system search utility would confirm or deny that fact. -- 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/
