Thanks, but no go. I shall note that:

- contrarily to what the error message suggests, directory
"/cygdrive/c/GNAT/2011/bin/../lib/aws/native/static" exists

- the path on the error message mixes Windows ("C:", '\') and Cygwin
("cygdrive", '/') format; to me this is clearly wrong (specially
mixing "C:" and "cygdrive")

The problem probably lies in any of these facts, but I don't know how
to fix it. The directory is specified in project file AWS_Lib_Shared
as LIBZ_Path := "/cygdrive/c/GNAT/2011/bin/../lib/aws/native/static";
I already tried changing the '/'s to '\'s (same result).


Thanks,
