Cheers, thanks for posting this.
Helpful, but left out details. My particular issue was curl was failing with the same error. I’ve used ldd in the past, but it didn’t give me any indication of a missing dll. Your suggestion to do “cygcheck curl” helped.
cygcheck: track_down: could not find cygsasl2-2.dll
But I had to search the web to find out more information.
To find the missing package you can go to the cygwin page and click on Search Packages (or use http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=cygsasl where “cygsasl” was a string from my missing dll name.)
After installing libsasl… curl works!!
Thanks for the help!
I, too, had the Curl issue but resolved it with an easy search. The information posted here was invaluable!
