[mpich-discuss] mpdtrace cannot connect (cygwin & mpd), previous smpd remnants?

I'm aware of this. In fact, as mentioned, I'm successfully running mpd
with cygwin on my laptop. I merely want to do the same on my office
machine.

Good to know.

I'm somewhat confused what your comment refers to. My attempt to install
mpd  was the "first go". I had *not* previously compiled mpich2 from
source, but simply used the msi-installer for smpd. Should I have done a
"make distclean" anyhow? Did configure somehow notice the previously
installed (and by that time, uninstalled again, as far as Windows does so
cleanly) smpd version and compile the source for smpd?

When I start mpd in foreground it simply does nothing (nothing I can see
at least). I cannot ctrl-c it to escape, but rather I close the cygwin
window to get rid of it.

Best,
