It appears that rebaseall is required ocassionally to get cygwin [esp python] working. [having been bitten by this a few times,] Each time I do any cygwin updates - I make sure I run 'rebaseall' before doing anything else. Q: Does cygwin setup run rebaseall either during initial install or during subsequent updates? [guessing no] Q: Is it safe to say: 'if cygwin is installed from scratch - rebaseall is not required' [for our tools] cygwin/python is a pre-requisite - and our users appear to stumble across this issue regularly. And asking users to always run rebaseall is an extra hurdle] Thanks, Satish -- 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/
