I just went with it. I donw have _any_ other stuff installed under MSys, save for MinGW. so there are no other gcc's or any other foreign bins. > Do you perchance have something like Cygwin installed on > your machine as well?

I know *NIX :) like I said, I did not want to disturn the std installation to much, how it got /local, i honestly don know, I just simply left it like that. I'll keep you updated on what i find :) Thanx a lot for the help. -- Jean le Roux Binary Entropy Catalyst Cellular: 083 505 6443 A woman went into a hospital one day to give birth. Afterwards, the doctor came to her and said, "I have some... odd news for you." "Is my baby all right?" the woman anxiously asked. "Yes, he is," the doctor replied, "but we don't know how. Your son (we assume) was born with no body. He only has a head." Well, the doctor was correct. The Head was alive and well, though no one knew how. The Head turned out to be fairly normal, ignoring his lack of a body, and lived for some time as typical a life as could be expected under the circumstances. One day, about twenty years after the fateful birth, the woman got a phone call from another doctor. The doctor said, "I have recently perfected an operation. Your son can live a normal life now: we can graft a body onto his head!" The woman, practically weeping with joy, thanked the doctor and hung up. She ran up the stairs saying, "Johnny, Johnny, I have a *wonderful* surprise for you!" "Oh no," cried The Head, "not another HAT!" |
