I downloaded cygwin-1.3.9-1.tar.bz2 from -
http://rpmfind.net/linux/MySQL/cygwin/
I then unzipped this in my /home/Administrator directory and the result was the creation of - a usr directory with bin, include, info, and a man directory. This is all in my Administrator directory. One of the created files was /cygwin/home/Administrator/usr/lib/automode.o. I did a search and I found that this file is also in my /cygwin/lib/ directory. Have I unzipped cygwin-1.3.9-1.tar.bz2 in the wrong place. I'm totally lost here guys, so sorry for the stupid question. Do I have to have mysql even if I'm only accessing a database on a remote server?
