Mike,
Have you tried copying cygwin1.dll to the system32 or DLM directory?
Otherwise you could try recompiling with Visual or Intel C++ compiler.
Also, wasn't there an option -mno-cygwin to produce code that runs
without cygwin.
As I am writing this, I just saw the commetn on their web site:
- IDL DLM interface under Windows XP crashes IDL. Formerly worked
under
Win2k. May need to link with MSVC++ 7.0 instead of Cygwin/GCC.
If you don't use J2000 or the heliospheric coordinate systems, this may
be the point where I give you another plug for my idl_geopack dlm
(available at the code bank). Runs under Linux and Windows (including
XP), and there is a version for IDL 6.3 for Windows, which requires
recompilation due to renaming of IDL32.DLL/LIB to IDL.DLL/LIB.
Good luck,
Haje
