Oh, so you have *many* cygwin/GNU packages installed.  Well then *that's*
your problem.  You can't install more than 3 without upgrading to a full
Cygwin license, which is $$$.  What do you expect for free?

All kidding aside, it's hard for people on this list to take helping you
seriously when you don't bother to read and follow the advice already
given.  If you don't want to provide a complete problem report, you're
not obligated to but people reading your email messages aren't going to
be encouraged to help you with your problem.  Just food for thought.
