I believe that this is related to the problem that i have with gaim. If the tcl dll included with cygwin conflicts with the native win32 tcl (still a problem if you don't have native tcl installed) When wincvs tries to start up, it probes for a tcl dll, and when it finds it it tries to load it.

The problem lies in that anything that is linked against the native dll will not work with the cygwin dll. The problem is simple, the program will use the first matching dll that it finds in the search path. It isn't a wincvs (or gaim in my case) problem, there is nothing that they can really do t

my 2 cents, and what i believe is an easier and more appropriate solution ( think like you're on unix/linux) - for your cygwin bash/rxvt/etc terminals explicitely set the path in your .bashrc such that the cygwin binaries are found first -- and either do not add the cygwin binary paths to the w

I agree with both of you. It is definitely a path problem, and i also agree that the cygwin bin shouldn't be in the windows path and vice versa. However, from the number of bug reports that i have received from wingaim users, it seems that it is a common practice to put the cygwin bin directory i
