I apologize if this is a well-known problem. I ran into the "last error = =3D 6" problem trying to rebase some DLLs installed by perl's CPAN module. = The advice you find if you google that error message (kill all cygwin proc= esses and services, rebooting if necessary) will _not_ work if the problem = is a file marked as read-only. I am working on a patch, which is complicated by the need to avoid having r= ebase link against cygwin1.dll, and the way Windows Vista & 7 manage ACLs. = In the meantime, I figured having a mention of another possible cause of t= his problem could save someone else from fruitlessly rebooting their system= into safe mode in a vain effort to make CPAN work. If you run into "ReBaseImage failed with last error =3D 6", and you've kill= ed every cygwin process you find running, before you reboot, check the perm= issions on the DLL that's causing the error. "ls -l" will show the current= permissions, and "chmod u+w" will fix `em. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
