Another shot would be to make the /g - Mount point a binary
mountpoint.
Sometimes configure scripts behave somewhat stange if they are started
on a text-mounted filesystem.
As your mounts for /usr/bin & /usr/lib are also missing I would
recommend the following:
put /g in binmode
delete the source-package and do a 'tar zxvf PACKAGE.tar.gz' just to
make sure that all files are binary now.
try to configure ....
if it does not work:
update cygwin to latest release
try with /g in binmode
then revert /g to textmode & try again.
Cheers,
Michael
Ah yes, sometimes configure-scripts leave config.log files in the
directory where they were started in, have a look at the file, perhaps
the information in config.log helps to solve the problem.
