Subj: most recent xfig-3.2.5b-2 broken.

Hi Marco (and cygwin-x folks),

     I will try the experiment that I think
you are suggesting.  If the .so is part of an
older .dll, then a reinstallation of the
packages should clear up the problem.  I
have not yet done that however because the
same difficulty is emerging with the octave-3.6
that was released over the weekend.

     The message that I get is:

gbarrick@TS207 ~/jpegs/figs
$ octave
/usr/bin/octave-3.6.1.exe: error while loading shared libraries:
?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The cygcheck for octave indicates no particular
problem:

gbarrick@TS207 ~/jpegs/figs
$ cygcheck octave

      D:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll
    D:\cygwin\bin\cyghdf5-7.dll

    I also examined the file /var/log/setup.log.full,
but saw only messages that looked like successful
installations of the many hundreds of files in the
octave packages, plus a few messages from "io_stream:mklink"
that seem to indicate successful creation of links.

    Is there anything that I might do to narrow
down the .so or .dll that is causing the problem?
It seems quite odd, because this is a new installation
of cygwin (about three weeks old), and I do not think
that it has had time to get mucked up with old .dll's
and such.
