Hi,
Thank you for responding.
But it doesn't seem like I have some thing missing , here is the listing
of my top level CD-ROM directory :
directory -
total 1116
-r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 2600 Jun 10 08:00 INSTALL.TXT
-r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 4141 Apr 18 2002 README.TXT
-r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 393740 Jun 9 19:38 cygwin.pdf
dr-xr-xr-x 5 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 05:50 mail-archives
dr-xr-xr-x 17 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 04:55 math
-r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 225 Jun 10 06:47 md5.sum
dr-xr-xr-x 2 bt bt 4096 Jun 5 2002 private
dr-xr-xr-x 174 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 06:47 release
-r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 48079 Jun 9 22:07 setup.bz2
-r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 259072 Jun 10 06:35 setup.exe
-r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 183808 Jun 9 22:07 setup.exe.old
-r--r--r-- 1 bt bt 186186 Jun 9 22:07 setup.ini
dr-xr-xr-x 2 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 03:03 tmp
dr-xr-xr-x 2 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 09:41 utils
dr-xr-xr-x 3 bt bt 4096 Jun 10 04:58 xfree
As you can see it is all there and was downloaded just yesterday. Infact
I compared the setup.exe and setup.ini on both the CD and the hard
drive. Both are identical byte by byte. Yet they behave differently or I
must be hallucinating :-). Note the CD rom very closely mirrors the
ftp archive. I am trying to find my way through setup's source code but
with my busy schedule this is going to take a long long time, so I am
really hoping some one would answer this.
And yes I installed not only libintl2 but the other versions of libintl
also . Infact in trying to solve this problem I tried to install all the
packages except :
apache
ccache
curl
doxygen
dpkg
emacs
enscript
exim
fortune
gcc2
ghostscript
gnugo
guile
libxml2
libxslt
lilypond
mutt
nano
perl
pine
postgresql
proftpd
python
ruby
splint
squid
swig
tetex
texmf
xerces-c
xfree
I will gladly put the CD ISO image on an anonymous ftp site should
anyone be interested in having a look at it.
regards
B Thomas
