@subsection My application cannot locate cygncurses5.dll!!!
|

|

If you upgraded recently, and suddenly vim (or some other Cygwin
|
||||
application) fails with this message, it means that you did not follow
|
||||
these instructions properly:
|
||||
@file{http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2001/msg00124.html}. To
|
||||
repair the damage, you must run setup.exe again, and re-install the
|
||||
@samp{libncurses5} package.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that setup won't show this option by default. In the ``Select
|
||||
packages to install'' dialogue, click on the @samp{Full/Part}
|
||||
button. This lists all packages, even those that are already
|
||||
installed. Scroll down to locate the @samp{libncurses5} package.
|
||||
Click on the ``cycle'' glyph until it says ``Reinstall''. Continue
|
||||
with setup.

||||
@subsection Why is Cygwin suddenly @emph{so} slow?
|
||||
|
||||
If you recently upgraded the @samp{cygwin} package and suddenly
|
||||
@emph{every} command takes a @emph{very} long time, then you probably
|
||||
have the obsolete @code{//c} notation in your PATH. This now means
|
||||
the @emph{network share} @code{c}, which will slow things down
|
||||
tremendously if it does not exist. See then next FAQ entry.
|
||||
|
||||
@subsection Why doesn't //c (for C:) work anymore?
|
||||
|
||||
(Similarly for any drive letter, e.g. @code{//z} for @code{Z:})
|
||||
|
||||
This ``feature'' has long been deprecated, and no longer works at all
|
||||
in the latest release. For a detailed discussion of why this change
|
||||
was made, and how deal with it now, refer to
|
||||
in the latest release. As of release 1.3.3, @code{//c} now means the
|
||||
@emph{network share} @code{c}.
|
||||
|
||||
For a detailed discussion of why this change was made, and how deal
|
||||
with it now, refer to
|
||||
@file{http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-09/msg00014.html}.
