I've never seen a SMAUG distribution that uses the gnuregex library - what version are you using?
Since you're with Cygwin you could try going back to the setup and downloading that package.

smaug1.4.tgz
is tha package i downloaded

Whence? Where'd you get it?
And did you try what I suggested, going through Cygwin's install again and finding the library?

i've tried like 7 times to reinstall cygwin and nothing went looking for the package and either i really don't know what i'm looking at or i don't know. And I got the copy of Smaug from the ftp site up on the smaug home page.
Interesting. Anyways, I suggest getting SmaugFUSS: www.mudplanet.org, because it supports Cygwin I believe.
Yes, it supports Cygwin and also doesn't need the regex stuff. That's only used for the profanity filter anyway. Something which proved to be less than useful.
well i've been able to get an account on a *nix box but, i'm still having issuses with the startup script and as recommanded I'm now running Smaum14aFuss.tar.
these are the issues i'm having.....
mirrodan@riddick src $ ./startup 4000 &
[1] 27362
-bash: ./startup: /bin/csh: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
i don't know how to fix this but maybe someone can help me. I've gotten a clean compile already and I can do the following to start the mud but it doesn't run in the background like it should.
mirrodan@riddick src $ ./smaug 4000 &
and it'll run the mud so long as the area.lst files and the area files are in the src directory
thank you,
Mirrodan

You should do something like:
cd ../area
../src/smaug 4000 &
But you really should be using the startup script - you should get in touch with your sysadmin and find out if they don't have the csh interpreter, or if it's in some other location, and if they don't have it, could they install it.
They may have the tcsh interpreter, in which case you could simply change the first line from
#!/bin/csh
to
#!/bin/tcsh
This line is used to tell the operating system which interpreter to use to run the script. You can thus write "shell scripts" in any language e.g. perl, and put #!/usr/bin/perl as the first line to inform the OS that perl should be used to run the script.

You can check if you have csh yourself, but the problem may be that its in a different place. Use "whereis csh", and that should give you if/where its defined.
i did infact talk to my sysadmin and he informed me that we don't have csh and only have bash, I made the change in the start up file to use bash but, it's still not working he said i need to rewrite the script to be appropriate for bash. I don't know how to do this so if anyone can help i'd be greatly appriciative. i'm currently running sampson's smaug14FUSS version of smaug.

You should keep the discussion of one problem to one thread (especially since you created another :P) so that it's easier to follow (and less redundant.)
