Re: 1.7.10: gv invocation: Procedure Entry Point not located in DLL (Vista)

Please find my diagnostics listed below the discussion here.


I have not found any reference to a similar issue. Ghostview (gv) fails on two different cygwin distros and two different Window OSs. I re-installed gv a couple of times, but no luck. I have found references to multiple versions of Ghostscript installations interfering with gv, but that doesn't seem to apply here.

My cygcheck.out:  Username changed to "user1"; computer name changed
to "pc1"; place changed to "America/Any_City_USA".  Some permission
errors popped up when I ran it--didn't record them.
XWin.0.log:  I didn't include--doesn't seem to be an X-problem.

Thanks for your help!

Distributions:
1.) Windows Vista
     CYGWIN_NT-6.0 PC 1.7.10(0.259/5/3) 2012-02-05 12:36 i686 Cygwin
2.) Windows XP
     CYGWIN_NT-5.1 PC 1.7.9(0.237/5/3) 2011-03-29 10:10 i686 Cygwin

#Issue:  gv exits with error code 127.
#Assuming a Linux exit code, 127 is 'command not found'.  I observe the
#same issue on Win XP, but the rest of the tests were only done on Vista.

$ gv file.ps&
[2] 2260

$
[2]+  Exit 127                gv file.ps



#
#strace shows that there is some issue with the cygXt-6.dll
#

$ strace gv

(1st dialog box appears and says:  "The procedure entry
point   could not be located in the dynamic link library
cygXt-6.dll"-->click ok)

this told you the problem. The library was not correctly loaded.

As most of your packages are old may I suggest first to udpdate
all of them and then retry ?
Otherwise debugging will be impossible for us.
