I just downloaded/installed the latest cygwin (1.5.24-2) using
cygwin.elite-systems.org, into a Vista Home Premium system (I know - ugh!)
I added a few packages to the default (such as vim, ImageMagick), but didn't
think it was much; I removed ash..?
Anyway, the installed completed without complaints in a reasonable amount of
time (none of the delay/hang problems reported on the list).
Almost nothing works when I start the Cygwin bash shell -- help, cd, pwd for
example work, but not much else:
bash-3.2$ ls *
bash: ls: command not found
>>>???
[carol AT EDP19 /etc]$man -k ls
bash: man: command not found
>>>???
[carol AT EDP19 /etc]$cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out
bash: cygcheck: command not found
>>> So I was unable to get the cygcheck output that is requested for this
>>> list
[carol AT EDP19 /etc]$echo $PATH
/cygdrive/c/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/Windows/system32:/cygdrive/c/Windows:/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/Common Files/Roxio Shared/DLLShared/:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common
Files/Roxio Shared/DLLShared/:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Common Files/Roxio
Shared/9.0/DLLShared/:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystem/
>>>The PATH option looks very strange... no /usr entries...
Viewing the setup log shows that all the post-install tasks ended with an
abnormal exit code:
exit code=126 or exit code=127
My login user is an Administrator
/Users/carol isn't visible in bash, but it's there when I use cmd.exe from
DOS.
I tried running setup again, but this made no changes.... also re-ran it
from the local directory (as suggested in one of the posts) and no change...
Any pointers? I've got cygwin up and running on two WinXP machines and it
works just great!
Thanks...jon
