My guess is that Alexey didn't notice a dll-in-use-must-reboot warning on cygncurses-8.dll when running setup.exe, and a reboot might have fixed it. Erk. I wonder what happens if you update, it adds a file to the rename-on-reboot list, then update again - this time without a shell (or whatever) running so that it goes ahead and installs the even-newer version successfully. I suspect a reboot might bring auto-downgrade in its wake :-( not good. Alexey, if this happens, you might need to reinstall libncurses. If you haven't rebooted yet, is there a file called "wininit.ini" in your \WINDOWS folder? Or any file matching "*.dll.new" in /bin? cheers, DaveK -- 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/
