May seem sort of newbish, but I just noticed that one cannot move cygwin1.dll into place after removing the old one. For instance, if I download a snapshot to some tmp directory, exit all cygwin related apps and use explorer to move the new dll from the tmp to c:\cygwin\bin - I'll get the standard crop of bad dll related failures. However if I *copy* the file (ctrl-drag) things work fine. I presume this is some kind of windows dll manipulation thing or is it just my system?
Hard to say without seeing what you're seeing (insert standard plug for <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> here ;-) ). The standard problem when doing what you're doing is forgetting to stop services. Other than that, your basic description fits my modus-operandi for replacing the DLL manually. So perhaps it is just your system. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
