Hi,


I ran into the same problems some time ago. The only solution I found
was to compile a newer version using cygwin. I haven't found any
binaries of the 2.5.33 for windows at that time.


The biggest problem with the cygwin version is that you have to use
cygwin path for windows drives such as /cygdrive/c/ . If somebody has
another solution, I'm also interested in it.
