Question

I tried to install node.js by following instructions here:
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Building-node.js-on-Cygwin-(Windows)

I got these errors after running ./configure:

$ ./configure
Checking for program g++ or c++          : /usr/bin/g++
  2 [main] python 6768 C:\cygwin\bin\python.exe: *** fatal error - unable to remap \\?\C:\cygwin\lib\python2.6\lib-dynload\time.dll to same address as parent: 0x3A0000 != 0x3D0000

  3 [main] python 5292 fork: child 6768 - died waiting for dll loading, errno 11
/home/user/node/wscript:228: error: could not configure a cxx compiler!

I did a rebaseall on cygwin and ran configure again and got these errors:

$ ./configure

What am I doing wrong?
