1) Yes, I paied attention for that.
2) I suppose yes, maybe the problem is in the pathname with double quotes:
I installed the packages in the <c:\"Program Files"\mingw32> directory.
Just to joke:
try in a MSDOS shell on windows NT : cd Program Files (it works)
cd "Program Files" (it works)
dir Program Files (DOES NOT WORK!!!)
dir "Program Files" (it works)
Does anybody can tell me why?

Thanks, I'll try to compile it by hand ...
