Can't run ./configure at installation

[Ben Tay]

Hi,

I guess it's because I've another copy of Python for windows installed 
by Tecplot. Uninstalled it and reinstall my cygwin. However I got this msg:

================================================================================

             Configuring PETSc to compile on your system

 *** Incomplete cygwin install detected 
****************************************

 *** Please rerun cygwin-setup and install module make [and its 
dependencies]***

================================================================================

I run "make" and it seems to be. What do you mean by dependencies? I 
just select "gnu make" in the developer's installation of cygwin (and 
python 8000+k). That's what I've been using and it worked last time. I 
wonder what other additions must I install?

Thank you.
