With Jeff Hu's reply ("This is because of a problem in the readlink() function. Chris checked in a patch on 10/31.") in mind I upgraded my Cygwin configuration to use gcc 2.95.2-3, fetched the install script from the URL you provided and renamed install.exe as per your instructions. After that the build went linke a charm and RCS is running great. Thanks for the help.

Please post some more details like OS (e.g., NT/2000/98), file system (e.g., FAT, NTFS, CIFS), etc. The output from cygcheck -s -v -r wouldn't hurt too. FYI, I'm only a casual RCS user and have only used it only on NT with NTFS and CIFS. > BTW, src/Makefile.in needs another patch as the programs to install end in > .exe: Only if you don't have the following installed as install: ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Humblet_Pierr e_A/install-cygwin-b20-sh Jason -- Jason Tishler Director, Software Engineering Phone: +1 (732) 264-8770 x235 Dot Hill Systems Corporation Fax: +1 (732) 264-8798 82 Bethany Road, Suite 7 Email: Jason.Tishler@dothill.com Hazlet, NJ 07730 USA WWW: http://www.dothill.com -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
