Re: 1.5.19-4 a bad build?


Sorry, I didn't mean to post three times. The error message I got from the mail server seems that my message wasn't being delivered.

I was able to get a 1.5.19-4 succesfully, what the issue was kernel.org didn't have all the packages for some reason. I did another install from a *.anl.gov that a friend told me to use and I was able to get a successful download and install.

So, no, there wasn't any cygwin processes running.

No need to post 3 times - we heard you the first.


cygminires.dll

cygopt-0.dll
cygintl-2.dll

My guess is that you had a cygwin program still running when you did the upgrade, leading to postinstall script failure. Normally, setup.exe does the right thing if you upgrade when no cygwin process is running. But the fix is simple - stop all cygwin processes, rerun setup.exe, and let it once again determine dependencies it needs to install.

Also, there is no /usr/bin/make! I'm not sure what else is missing though.

I have attached my cygcheck output. Found out "zip" is missing too.

We ask for cygcheck output as an uncompressed text attachment for a reason - so that we can read it without having to save it off to a file and unzipping it. (translation, I didn't bother to read your cygcheck output, because it was not easily accessible, so I probably missed out on some clues that might have made my response more to the point on how to fix your particular problem).

What is the last known good build?

1.5.19-4. Honestly, it works, or it wouldn't have remained the current version for several months now.
