+People have reported problems with WpdPack (the developer pack for
 Winpcap) being installed outside of the Cygwin root directory.  Hence, I

+strongly recommend you install it under the Cygwin root as /WpdPack.
+
+Note 2:
+There's a big problem with the Cygwin Guile package which breaks
+GNU Autogen which tcpreplay depends on when building from Subversion. 
+
+What this means is that to build from Subversion you must do the following:
+- Download GNU Guile from http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/guile.html
+
+- Extract the tarball and do the following:
+libtoolize --copy --force
+./configure
+make
+make install
+
+This will install guile in /usr/local.
+
+The other problem is that guile-config returns the linker flags in the wrong 
+order.  To fix this, rename /usr/local/bin/guile-config to 
+/usr/local/bin/guile-config.original and create a new shell script in it's
+place:
+
+---- BEGIN SHELL SCRIPT ----
+#!/bin/bash
+# Replacement /usr/local/bin/guile-config script
+if test -z "$1" ; then
+       guile-config.original
+elif test "$1" == "link"; then
+       echo "-L/usr/local/lib -lguile -lltdl -lgmp -lcrypt -lm -lltdl"
+else
+       guile-config.original $1
+fi
+---- END SHELL SCRIPT ----
