Sorry for the second message here - I should have said I just installed cygwin yesterday and it is v1.3.22-1. Also, I'm running on XP Pro.

It is actually executing in hmake3.config at the following line (the hmakerc add command) N:/nhc98-1.16/script/hmake-config N:/nhc98-1.16/lib/ix86-CYGWIN_NT-5.1/hmakerc add N:/nhc98-1.16/script/nhc98 davidbak@girlsprout /ndrive/nhc98-1.16/src/hmake $ make config sh N:/nhc98-1.16/targets/ix86-CYGWIN_NT-5.1/hmake3.config hmake-config: Starting new config file in N:/nhc98-1.16/lib/ix86-CYGWIN_NT-5.1/hmakerc I/O error: action : openFile ReadMode on file: /cygdrive/c/TEMP\hmakeconfig.tmp gave : ENOENT (No such file or directory) hmake-config: compiler not known: 'N:/nhc98-1.16/script/nhc98' make: *** [config] Error 2 As you can see it thinks hmakeconfig.tmp is not there - and in fact it is not. Though it is a temporary file - I'm wondering if the problem is in RunAndReadStdout.hs where it does a removeFile - and has the comment "file will not be removed until readFile closes it". Actually I don't have the slightest idea if that is the problem or not. Anyhow, any hints on how I can get past this? Thanks! -- Dave
