Nope. The message was very clear. He provided cygcheck output from the
nonstandard distribution, in fact.
This isn't a democracy where you get a vote about how to use this
mailing list. Once again, if the OP wants support for packages that
weren't installed from the official distribution he shouldn't look for
it here.
Yes, if the OP wants to reinstall a new cygwin installation from
http://cygwin.com/ then of course we'd support it. That goes without
saying*.
