Nothing I tried could bring the Cygwin package back to life. Even trying to
install the latest new release didn't work. I finally just removed the
application and downloaded everything again.
I now have the 1.7.13-* release available and working. I made a copy of the
download tracking files (I don't know the real name for these files) and was
able to diff the new basic download package against the previous download and
make sure I got all the packages I had previously had.
With just a little work, I was able to get everything. Now I just need to
setup the apache2 server, the sshd deamon, etc. I hope my notes are correct.
:)
Sincerely,
Brian S. Wilson
