Chuck, right here: http://cygwin-rpm.sourceforge.net/ If anyone has any actual help to provide besides message board ethics, I'd be most thankful. I'm running cygwin on top of win98 by the way. ------Original Message------ From: "Charles S.

Neither perl nor rpm are part of the default cygwin install. You really should seek help first from whomever provided the packages you are using. No one on this list knows what funky things some random packager 'out there on the net' did, in order to provide a perl rpm. --Chuck luip wrote: > > When I tried installing perl I got this after a load of "group None does not exist - using root" vomit: > > unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic > 0 [main] RPM 1028 handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION > 1402 [main] RPM 1028 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to RPM.EXE.stackdump > Segmentation fault (core dumped) > > I ran: rpm -i --ignoreos perl-5.6.0-cygwin1.1.rpm > > Also ran rpm with the verbose switch and nothing seemed wrong, until rpm got done creating things & started the preinstall script. > > ______________________________________________ > FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com > Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup > > -- > Want to unsubscribe from this list? > Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
