Reply-to: rouilj AT ieee DOT org Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2003 12:43:17 -0500 From: "John P. Rouillard" Hi all: Can somebody with anup to date python please run the following program interactively: import sys print sys.executable When I run this, sys.executable returns the current working directory, not /usr/bin/python. I just had to have my machine rebuilt from an image, and I have already discovered that the restore doesn't preserve case, so things were/are kind of goofy in my cygwin installation. I reinstalled python and that cleaned up a lot of breakage. cygcheck -c cygwin python shows: Package Version Status cygwin 1.5.5-1 OK python 2.3.2-1 OK Does anybody know of a way to get cycheck to check the case of filenames/directories and report incorrect case as well? The brain dead approach of CYGWIN=check_case:strict cygcheck -c python didn't work. Not that I really expected it to since cygcheck isn't linked against cygwin1.dll -- rouilj John Rouillard =========================================================================== My employers don't acknowledge my existence much less my opinions. -- 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/
