Well... I live and learn. Not at all. I'm a Windows user, and I would simply say that your troubles are "suitable punishment for wanting to install Cygwin". Actually .... since you come from a nix background, it may well make good sense for you to use Cygwin - though I ponder the wisdom of electing to purchase a Windows PC, and then trying to run it as a Linux PC :-) I use Linux, too - but, having cut my teeth on Windows, I avoid Cygwin (tried it once .... never again) and instead use the native Win32 port of gcc (ie MinGW). If you ever decide you want to go down that path: http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-4.1.0.exe?download Cheers, Rob
