You should only have one copy of the Cygwin DLL on your system. If you
have multiple versions, they will conflict and cause problems.
If you get the error "shared region is corrupted" it means you have
multiple versions of cygwin1.dll running at the same time. This could
happen, for example, if you update cygwin1.dll without exiting @emph{all}
Cygwin apps (including inetd) beforehand.
If you get the error "shared region is corrupted" or "shared region
version mismatch" it means you have multiple versions of cygwin1.dll
running at the same time. This could happen, for example, if you update
cygwin1.dll without exiting @emph{all} Cygwin apps (including inetd)
beforehand.
If you're trying to find multiple versions of the DLL that are causing
this problem, reboot first, in case DLL's still loaded in memory are the
cause. Then use the Windows System find utility to search your whole
machine, not just components in your PATH (as 'type' would do) or
cygwin-mounted filesystems (as Cygwin 'find' would do).
@subsection Where can I find "more"?
