This happens on a machine using the Norton AV (and no - thanks to SMS I cannot disable this). Never had a problem on my Notebook without this AV software.

I'm sorry. I didn't understand that it was the extraction of mingwc10.dll that was causing your problem. I should have remembered that as previous problem reports also indicated this. >To reiterate a bit more clearly, setup hangs my machine every >time it gets to cygwin.1.1.tar.gz, specifically (I am 99% certain) >when it gets to mingwc10.dll in that file.

Ok. Now I understand the magic DLL problem. This is very strange. >Are you suggesting then that I delete it from cygwin-1.1.1.tar.gz? >If I can assume setup will not barf if I modify the tar files >(I know nothing about the program or what checks it does), >I suppose I could try to unzip the file, tar --delete mingwc10.dll, >and rezip it. Is that your suggestion? I wasn't suggesting that but it does sound like a plan. You could try: tar -f cygwin-1.1.1.tar.gz --delete usr/bin/mingwc10.dll and then running "setup cygwin" to extract it (use the 'd' for disk option). >I'm beginning to suspect it interacts badly with McAfee virus scan. >That would explain why reading it in any way hangs my system. >I have the very latest McAfee virus update data files. I think that someone else reported this too. Is there any way that you could disable McAfee and try this? >>The task manager will show you what is running. > >It shows nothing for cygwin. Everything there is familiar. Ok. It doesn't sound like a cygwin-is-running issue anyway. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
