Hello, Roberto.

I just wanted to follow up with you. Firstly, I wanted to apologize for my grammar in the last email. I looked into pl.exe. I do indeed have it, however, the path to it does not have "usr" in it. My path to it is just "cygwin64\bin" where "cygwin64" is the root directory for Cygwin. I also figured I would include the "make install" although They mostly seem like unrelated documentation errors:

make[4]: *** [Makefile:6: refman.pdf] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/c/Users/T3chma/Downloads/ppl-new/doc/user-c-interface.latex-dir'
make[3]: *** [Makefile:1796: ppl-user-c-interface-1.3pre1.pdf] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/c/Users/T3chma/Downloads/ppl-new/doc'
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat './ppl-user-c-interface-1.3pre1.pdf': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [Makefile:1690: install-pdf] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/c/Users/T3chma/Downloads/ppl-new/doc'

make[1]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/c/Users/T3chma/Downloads/ppl-new/doc'
make: *** [Makefile:553: install-recursive] Error 1

Note: "ppl-new" is the name of the folder I used to combine my old ppl1.2 folder with the newly downloaded snapshot folder.

Hi Roberto.

Thank you for such a speedy response! I downloaded the snapshot provided at the link and merged it with my original PPL1.2 folder. I made sure to used the "--with-java-=DIR" flag and checked to make sure the ./configure script found all the required Java files The configure script gave me a bunch of the following errors unfortunatly:

On the off chance that those errors were not a big deal I ran make after the configure script was done. I was able to compile and install PPL but after doing so I could not find the .jar file. There were a few warnings about auto_pointer being deprecated but no errors (besides a few errors with the docs). I expect the default install directory for Cygwin to be in cygwin64/usr/local/ as that is where all the other ppl files are (libppl.a, cygppl-15.dll, ppl.h, etc.), however, I am unsure if I am looking in the wrong place at this point.

Thank you for your time!
