That was actually the first thing I looked at. For example:

I ran 'make test' as Administrator, saw the errors and looked at ...

Administrator@billhome/usr/src/ImageMagick-5.5.7/PerlMagick/t/jpeg
$ ll
total 6
-rwx------+   1 Administ None         1564 Mar 25 09:09 input.jpg
-rwx------+   1 Administ None         1805 Mar 25 09:09 input_plane.jpg
-rwx------+   1 Administ None          710 May  6 14:36 read.t
-rwx------+   1 Administ None          858 May  6 14:36 write.t

I didn't see permissions as an issue here. However, since I'm relatively new
to CYGwin and I'm noticing many peculiarities regarding resolving ntsec
thingy's to POSIX thingy's, I'll give that a second look.

  .... looking now ....

Administrator@billhome/usr/src/ImageMagick-5.5.7/PerlMagick/t/jpeg
$ chmod 644 *.t

Administrator@billhome/usr/src/ImageMagick-5.5.7/PerlMagick/t/jpeg
$ ll
total 6
-rwx------+   1 Administ None         1564 Mar 25 09:09 input.jpg
-rwx------+   1 Administ None         1805 Mar 25 09:09 input_plane.jpg
-rw-r--r--+   1 Administ None          710 May  6 14:36 read.t
-rw-r--r--+   1 Administ None          858 May  6 14:36 write.t

Administrator@billhome/usr/src/ImageMagick-5.5.7/PerlMagick/t/jpeg
$ cd ..

Administrator@billhome/usr/src/ImageMagick-5.5.7/PerlMagick/t
$ cd ..

Administrator@billhome/usr/src/ImageMagick-5.5.7/PerlMagick
$ make test

  .... and the results are ....

/usr/bin/perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0,
'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/bzlib/*.t t/jbig/*.t t/jng/*.t t/jpeg/*.t

All tests successful.
Files=28, Tests=4,  3 wallclock secs ( 0.39 cusr +  0.42 csys =  0.81 CPU)

And again I'm mystified by CYGwin. The files *were* rwx and *owned* by
Administrator and I *was* Administrator ... so what's up? Either things
aren't quite right yet in CYGwin land or I'm about to learn something new
and profound.

I've glanced through Corrina's dissertation on ntsec<=>POSIX issues.
Honestly, I was in no frame of mind to really want to completely understand
it and I'm not sure I really need to. But if you're up on it (or anybody
else is,) and the answer's in there let me know and I'll try to get a good
nights sleep before looking at it.

Or - if you have it your heart - maybe you'd care to school me :)

Thanks,

Bill
