I believe there is something broken in setup's dependencies. I did a fresh install without selecting any packages and let setup install just the basics. After the first run of setup, running "less" popped up an error complaining about cygpcre-0.dll not being found. I ran setup a second time, again without selecting any packages, and on the second pass, setup installed two more packages - libbz2_1 and libpcre0. This corrected the issue with less. I don't know enough about setup and how it decides which packages to install, but I don't think this behavior is as intended. I'm attaching two cygcheck output files (one after the first run of setup and one after the second). I repeated the process on a different mirror with the same results. Ross
