I fixed the problem by installing into another directory other than C:\cygwin. I have no idea why this fixes the problem, but probably it has something to do with security packages installed on the computer (it's a new work laptop which appears to have several security related programs installed on it by corporate IT). --James James Adams wrote: > > I have recently installed Cygwin version 2.510.2.2 onto a Windows XP > system and when I launch it the first thing I see is this: > > 5 [main] bash 3024 fork: child -1 - CreateProcessA failed, errno 13 > bash: fork: Permission denied > > I get the same message when I try running the ls command: > > bash-3.2$ ls > 9404505 [main] bash 1544 fork: child -1 - CreateProcessA failed, errno 13 > bash: fork: Permission denied > > Can someone suggest what's going wrong, and how I can fix it? > > Thanks in advance for any help. > > --James > -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/bash%3A-fork%3A-Permission-denied----how-can-I-fix-this--tf4483481.html#a12787463 Sent from the Cygwin Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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/
