What changed from bash 3.1.17 to 3.1.18 ? I blindly performed a cygwin update, rebooted, and attempted startx. X came up OK but the terminals would not respond to keyboard input. Looking at the output of startx it became apparent something was seriously wrong with /bin/sh (/bin/bash). I got syntax errors on blank lines. I also found, by adding little debugging stuff, like 'ls $XAPPLRESDIR', that the shell was quoting env variables. I was getting "no such file or directory" on valid paths because the shell was including single quotes around the path. At least that's what it looked like. Really odd. I solved the problem by reverting to bash 3.1.17. -- Larry Breyer UCSD Computer Science (858) 822-4990 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
