Usually, when something takes this long, is not using 100% CPU, but is nevertheless progressing, it's because of network timeouts. Is it possible that you have a reference to a non-existent network share in your PATH? If not, you could try identifying where configure is spending its time by adding "set -x" near the top of the script (without the quotes, and after the line starting "#!".) That will slow things down even more, but as the output scrolls by, you might spot it taking longer than you'd expect somewhere. If you don't get anywhere, please follow the instructions here: > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html particularly the bit about *attaching* the output from "cygcheck -svr" You might also check whether you're suffering from BLODA.
