Since I don't see any other options open to me I'm in the process of
doing a complete, clean, reinstall of Cygwin. I'll post the results of
that installation when it is complete. Most likely that won't be until
Monday or later.
The one thing I have thought of since my last post is that I did at
one point attempt to get cygports installed on this machine. That is
something I've not done with the other. I ran into some sort of
problem with that install and gave up on it. I already had cygwin
installed when I tried to do the cygports install. I didn't start over
from scratch for that, despite the process talking about downloading
locally first. I doubt this is the source of the issue, but it is a
difference between this computer and all the others I have set up with
cygwin at work.
Thanks,
Steven
