I got the new setup.exe and copied it to C:\cygwin as setup-new.exe. I then ran it and downloaded various of the new/updated packages. I then reran it to install from the downloaded files, halfway through this whilst installing gdb (which I hadn't installed before), I got a message about moving cygwin out of the way. After this things rapidly deteriorated(!) and I got a large number of messages about not finding 'X' (usually a single character) until I eventually killed off the install process. I then re-downloaded setup, and installed from the local download successfully (but this time omitted gdb). I see my old setup has been renamed to c:\cygwin.old-1 but there don't appear to be any useful files there for diagnosing what happened. The c:\cygwin contains the following zero length files which date from when the problem occurred -rw-rw-rw- 1 ram everyone 0 Jul 4 09:53 deUnsafeCommands -rw-rw-rw- 1 ram everyone 0 Jul 4 09:53 lObjIndexForString -rw-rw-rw- 1 ram everyone 0 Jul 4 09:53 NewObj -rw-rw-rw- 1 ram everyone 0 Jul 4 09:53 __Tcl_InitMemory R (not on this email list so cc me if you want me to see the responses!) -- Robert Marshall -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
