[heap of woes snipped]

Argh! I wonder if haddock has a install shield wizard for Windows! :)

Hmm. After some further investigation (noted that Python didn't work properly on my system either :), the file/usr/doc/Cygwin/python-2.2.2.README says: --- 3. Due to issues with Cygwin's fork() and DLL base address conflicts, one should rebase their Cygwin system to prevent fork() failures. Use the following procedure to rebase your system: a. install the Cygwin rebase package (if necessary) b. shutdown all Cygwin processes c. start bash (do not use rxvt) d. execute rebaseall (in the bash window) --- Doing b. was a bit tricky (any processes left running lock the DLL's for writing, so rebase complains with error = 6), but after that the only messages I got was: /usr/lib/apache/xxx.dll: skipped because nonexistent .. for a few dll's, but now åython doesn't give me anymore forking errors, so I believe this should work for you as well. /Marcus
