Hi Rob-
Perhaps the problem is perl version specific as I
have not had trouble building Inline with perl 5.10.x
from cygwin. This build was with the latest cygwin
perl 5.14.2.
The good news is that since all this was installed
in a separate location, I should be able to reproduce
the bug using a different INSTALL_BASE. Of
course, I need to get PDL up and running first but
will follow up with the details when I can do so.
