Lots of Vista32 problems


OK, I've been working on this problem for several days now and I'm about ready to give up all together. I'm really hoping someone can help me out. I used cygwin for years on XP and now that I've moved to Vista, I can't get anything to work.

Whenever I try to run /usr/X11R6/bin/startxwin.bat , it crashes. I have created a stackdump and put it here: https://go.pittstate.edu/mjw/cygwin.strace . I was told to rebaseall and that didn't work. I also tried rebasing to a different address, then back to the default -- still nothing.

Next, I was told to try to rebuild the current cygwin package. That fails on make install every time (collect2.exe). After that, I tried building the latest snapshot... Now configure fails near the beginning when it's testing to see if gcc works. The only way I've seen to get around that is to do a full reinstall.. but that's kind of frustrating waiting for 2 hours to reinstall everything.

Basically I'm at my wits end and I really hope somebody can help before I give up on being able to use cygwin on Vista...
