Cygwin library load error

I built spatialite library then gdal library with spatialite support. Also built mapserver which depends on gdal with success. There was no problem with linking.

When I try to execute a gdal utility I get:

$ ogrinfo.exe
/usr/local/bin/ogrinfo.exe: error while loading shared libraries: cyggdal-1.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But everything seems fine:

$ ldd /usr/local/bin/ogrinfo.exe

        cygpng12.dll => /usr/bin/cygpng12.dll (0x6f200000)

If I copy the cyggdal-1.dll to the current folder:

$ ogrinfo.exe
/usr/local/bin/ogrinfo.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So what is a '?' library?

$ ldd cyggdal-1.dll

        ??? => ??? (0x66e00000)
        ??? => ??? (0x6f200000)

What are these "???" ? How to solve this problem?

Use cygcheck /usr/bin/[yourbinary] (example /usr/bin/curl)

It will tell you anything it couldn't find. (It will say 'could not find [some.dll]'.)

Just install the package that the dll names.

For example - When I ran:

$ curl

It returned:

/usr/bin/curl.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So I ran:

$ cygcheck /usr/bin/curl

It returned:

cygcheck: track_down: could not find cygsasl2-2.dll

So I installed the 'libsasl2' package.

It is a runtime library installed through the setup.exe (cygwin installer) and curl started working fine.

I used cmd to execute the utility and it showed a popup with the name of missing dll.
