Just did ./configure ./make ./make test and all worked fine out of the tarball. So, I'm not able to reproduce Carl's problem. Consider updating your cygwin environment if you haven't done so recently. So we don't know exactly why some Cygwin installations seem to report this difference, but apparently the libraries build OK, and you should be able to install and use them. --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
