Thanks a lot. It says this:

"You wouldn't happen to have Cygwin installed would you?  If so make
sure that the CYGWIN environment variable isn't defined in your
environment.  May be a good idea to also remove the path to Cygwin's
bin directory from your PATH as well. "



Now, I did install Cygwin. And then I deinstalled it, because I found  
out that libraries compiled with Cygwin, required cygwin1.dll as a  
separate lib, and my app must be self-contained!!! So deinstalled  
cygwin, and I installed mingw.

Now I find that there is some odd environment variable problem. Sad :(

I don't know how to reset environment variables in Windows. Any idea  
how I can do it? Is it with the terminal or do I alter a plain text  
file or do I alter the registry?
