Re: Updated: readline-5.0-4, libreadline6-5.0-4

You sure picked an awfully old message to reply to, seeing as how readline
is currently at 5.2.4-8, and I no longer support readline-5.0-4.

According to Atzinger, Joseph on 5/4/2007 1:55 PM:

Here's a reason:

| 2007/05/04 15:46:44 Scheduled reboot replacement of file
C:\cygwin/bin//cygreadline6.dll with C:\cygwin/bin//cygreadline6.dll.new
| 2007/05/04 15:46:44 mbox note: In-use files have been replaced. You need
| to reboot as soon as possible to activate the new versions. Cygwin may
operate incorrectly until you reboot.

You upgraded cygwin without first shutting down all cygwin processes;
thus, cygreadline6.dll didn't get replaced in time, leading to the missing
entry point error messages.  Have you rebooted yet?  Is the problem still
occurring?  Have you used setup.exe to reinstall libreadline6, this time
with all cygwin processes stopped?

If you had been using the newer setup.exe snapshots, you would have been
properly warned (http://cygwin.com/setup/snapshots/).  I really wish we
could get a new setup.exe release made official.
