Scott,

Thanks for the help. I have more information since I posted. I will try
your ideas when I get to work as I don't have the computer I was using in
front of me.

I did, however, try to configure and compile the code on a Linux box at
work and then checked the differences in the makefiles to see what I could
see. I was looking in about the same place as you are now and I noticed
that when I made it on the linux box the variable EXEEXT was left blank.
When I cleared this variable on my cygwin build everything when smoothly.
Originally on the cygwin build EXEEXT was set to EXEEXT = .exe , This
obviously is causing some kind of problem.

The original problem that was trying to fix was still there though which
is this: I have the alt key and function keys mapped to certain things
and they have stopped working. I guess I need to try something else.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Nathan
