Martin,
Glad I could help. It was actually Sylvain Petreolle that answered your
question... I just helped you understand what that answer meant. :)

Harold,
THANKS! That was the cause of my problems. There was a copy under
WINNT :-(

Martin,
You need to search your computer for ``cygwin1.dll'' and remove any
copies that are not in your Cygwin directory. You must search *all
directories* on your computer for cygwin1.dll. The following
FAQ entry
gives a little additional information on the problem:

The question is where do I get a current one and where do I have to
replace it. Cygwin setup doesn't seem to update this file, because I
have all current versions installed via setup. Can I replace that
file manually? Can I download it as a single file from somewhere?
TIA,
Martin.

you must have an old copy of cygwin1.dll in your system.

I guess this is a common question, but the FAQ didn't help. When I
say
"startx" in the shell, I get a Windows error message, which
is titled
"xinit.exe - Entry Point Not Found" and the according message says
"The
procedure entry point getpwnam_r could not be located in
the dynamic
link
library cygwin1.dll".
