Hi, Olivier, Thank you for your advise -- This problem is solved! I reinstalled 2-4 in the forward below, as you recommended, except for (1), since I had just installed the latest Cygwin in early November. Everything compiled! The build and install ran clean, after I updated my PATH variable and deleted the old stuff. BTW, I kept running out of diskspace during the X11R6.6 build (I only had 300 MB free), so I repartitioned to increase my home volume by 250 MB - enough to finish the build and installation. The _ctype_ problem below was apparently due to a bad X11r6.4 installation which the X11r6.6 install fixed. I am still experiencing problems with the tutorials, e.g., "Ring" issues an error: Distance between connector <b O> and <sO> of core isn't big enough. make: *** [addaccu.ap] Error 20 But, I'll read some more messages in the mailing-lists...

Please read the documentation for ... did you try to add e:\usr\X11r6.4\lib to your windows PATH I did remember I had problems with some dlls... BTW, the windows dev (4.5) package I've made is rather old you really should 1- install a fresh cygwin yourself (http://www.cygwin.com/) 2- install xfree (http://cygwin.com/xfree/) 3- build lesstif (http://www.lesstif.org/) 4- download the latest alliance sources and build.
