Hi: I recently added lynx to existing cygwin installation. When installing Lynx, I noticed it installed a new version of perl. Now when I try to run perl, I get the error: "procedure entry point _getreent could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll"
What do I have to do to resolve this. Thanks in advance.

You might try including cygcheck output as directed in http://cygwin.com/problems.html.
My WAG, perl needs Cygwin 1.5.5 and you have 1.3.22 or older. Did you update the Cygwin DLL too?
I do remember somethign about that entrypoint and 1.5.5. However, if
installing lynx required the new perl and the perl was dependent on
cygwin1.dll 1.5.5 then shouldn't setup have handled such a dependency
chain? (Just curious...)

there must have been something before it.
