[My apologies for the repost, but I had mistakenly allowed our mailer to put a disclaimer on the 1st post. However, note that the text below was updated to indicate that this works for 32-bit Win2003 under Xen. Please see the original note for a disclaimer that made it through the filters, as the note did make it into the archives.] ----- I tried to do a new cygwin install on Windows 2003 Server (x64). This is probably about the 30th time I’ve installed cygwin in the last couple of years, but it might be the first 64-bit 2003 install I’ve done (I have successfully done 64-bit Vista installs a few months ago). Note that the install appears to succeed from the point of view of running the setup.exe command. But when I bring up the first bash shell, the PATH does not include /bin or /usr/bin. I traced this back to /etc/profile not existing and this ultimately lead me to postinstall script failures. I’ve attached the setup output showing that most of the postinstall scripts fail with either an error or 126 or 128. I’m still unsure what these error codes are exactly so any pointers to the meaning of these would be appreciated. Note that the setup.log.full was edited down as it the full version was rejected by a mail gateway. Let me know if I editing out anything you wish to see. More details on the scenario are: 1. The install was on a Xen virtual machine 2. Windows was installed and all updates applies immediately before installing cygwin 3. This was Windows 2003 R2 (but not with SP2) 4. The setup.exe came from the cygwin.com webpage on April 29, 2008 5. The dotsrc mirror was used 6. The on change to the default package selection was to include "vim" 7. The install was done from the local "Administrator" account 8. The box was not in a domain 9. While the above refers to the single run where I attempted this, I have run into this problem during multiple tries in the last few days, but I'm hoping this example is has fewer variables than the previous run (which was not on a newly installed Windows box that had been up an running for a while in a Xen VM) Any suggestions on further experiments/diagnosis I can do would be welcome. I have tried this with 32-bit Win2003 and that worked ok, or at least well enough. I still got failures in postinstall but only for terminfo.sh and update-info-dir.sh which reported the sane 126 error code with "/bin/sh: bad interpreter". But, from what I see, these failures are not a serious problem, things seem to work fine from my point-of-view. Also, I tried running the /etc/postinstall scripts by-hand after the install completed. I didn't see any errors reported from this, but it didn't appear to fix the problem (e.g., /etc/profile still did not exist). -- Eric ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
