There are several of these under /lib/perl5, and also some under /bin, like /bin/pod2man, etc. I then used setup.exe to uninstall perl, and tried the install again. I still get these messages. Closer investigation shows that uninstall does not delete perl stuff in /bin/ and in /lib/perl5 -- should it? relevant portion of setup.log is as follows: 2001/08/29 12:51:38 Starting cygwin install, version 2.78.2.9 Current Directory: C:\WINNT\Profiles\dcarter\Desktop source: network install Selected local directory: C:\WINNT\Profiles\dcarter\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files root: d:\cygwin binary system net: Direct site: http://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/cygwin Downloaded contrib/perl/perl-5.6.1-2.tar.bz2 Installing...contrib/perl/perl-5.6.1-2.tar.bz2 Unable to install file d:/cygwin/bin/pod2man Unable to install file d:/cygwin/bin/pod2text Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/auto/Getopt/Long/autosplit.ix Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/auto/Getopt/Long/config.al Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/auto/Getopt/Long/Configure.al Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/auto/Getopt/Long/Croak.al Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/auto/Getopt/Long/FindOption.al Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/auto/Getopt/Long/GetOptions.al Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Getopt/Long.pm Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Pod/Man.pm Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Pod/Text/Color.pm Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Pod/Text/Overstrike.pm Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Pod/Text/Termcap.pm Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Pod/Text.pm Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Test/Harness.pm Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/5.6.1/Test.pm Unable to install file d:/cygwin/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/MD5.pm mbox note: Installation incomplete. Check /setup.log.full for details 2001/08/29 13:15:18 Ending cygwin install I will try the obvious - uninstall perl via setup.exe, manually delete the things it leaves behind, and then run install. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
