That's what I get when I run the toolchain script. I installed Devel and Wget and have the latest version of the script 20060120. I've been trying this for a few days now and always get an error building binutils. Anyone know what the problem could be?

Quick guess: Are you running out of ram?

I haven't checked but I have 512 and I'm not running anything else except winamp.

I've run it with nothing else multiple times still getting the same type of error. Most recent one:

It appears to be a cygwin issue involving buggy fork code.

I'm afraid I have no solution, unfortunately.

Hmm, is there any other way to get the pspsdk working so I can design and compile PSP programs? I've been looking forward to doing PSP programming.

Are you using the latest version on cygwin?
It was updated few days ago, check it out.
Or install linux :P

Yea, I have the latest version. I was thinking about actually installing Ubuntu since I've tried the Live CD and I liked it, the script will work without any changes, right?

The script works best in anything but cygwin, actually.

Please let it keep working as best as possible with Cygwin... I want to keep working with Visual Studio.NET :D.

That would be entirely up to how unix-like and stable Cygwin decides to be.
