Hi syphilis,

Thank you for your advice.

I tried 2) first, by doing:

ppm remove MinGW
ppm remove dmake
ppm install dmake
ppm install MinGW

[download]
Unfortunately, that gave me the same result.

I then had a go at 1), again I removed MinGW and dmake to make it clean.

I had a look around on the mingwfiles area of sourceforge and found http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/GNU%20Binutils/binutils-2.20.1/binutils-2.20.1-2-mingw32-bin.tar.gz/download which I downloaded and extracted to C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/MinGW

I had a search for make and dmake in the resulting folders and sub-folders and cannot find either of them.

Please could you look at the binutils I tried and let me know of there is a different one I should be using.

Thanks again,

Richard.
