Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2002 00:31:23 +0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 21 Oct 2002 00:31:23.0808 (UTC) FILETIME=[2F438A00:01C27899] Report of additional test: I logged in as Administrator, and still have the same problem aclocal: Can't open aclocal: No such file or directory $whoami Administrator $grep Administrator /etc/passwd Administrators:*:544:544:... Administrator:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:500:513:... $ls -l /usr/autotools/devel/bin/ lwrxwrxwrx 1 Administ None ... aclocal -> aclocal-1.6 -rwx------ 1 Administ None ... aclocal-1.6 I'm a bit surprised by this, but then again, I don't know why I was able to execute this file as my non-Administrator user either. And again, I can execute it directly, eg, $/usr/autotool/devel/bin/aclocal so I assume this is the -x check in the /usr/bin/aclocal wrapper failing. Cordially, Perry (PS: Apparently a fix for the "gcc not executable" problem is to run, eg, mkpasswd -du myusername, which adds an entry to /etc/passwd for the username specified; in case anyone hits this searching for that answer.) _________________________________________________________________ Internet access plans that fit your lifestyle -- join MSN. http://resourcecenter.msn.com/access/plans/default.asp -- 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/
