Zhang" Reply-To: lingfengz AT yahoo DOT com Subject: Re: installation freezes at /usr/bin/idle To: Cygwin List In-Reply-To: <6.0.1.1.0.20040123170429.03a6a140@127.0.0.1> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Note-from-DJ: This may be spam I would like to report that I was finally able to install cygwin with the following adjustments: use different mirror: I tried http://mirrors.kernel.org and http://mirrors.rcn.net with the previous error, this time I used planetmirror.org 2) install everything but no source (After successful installation, I ran setup again to install the source) I have notice the following differences: 1) no more freezing (thankgod!) 2) in the 2 previous mirror, I get an msg warning me about moving some folder/file out out to make way when installing teTex, with the planetmirror, I didn't get anything. 3) I have been using the two "problematic" mirrors for long time and not so long ago installing cygwin to my laptop (always have warning msg as stated in (2) above). Maybe I should look more careful at MD5Sum for each mirror... --- Larry Hall wrote: > OK, try this: > > set PATH=C:\cygwin\bin;%PATH% > cygcheck -s -r -v > > If that gives you the same complaint, it's probably > a > permissions problem.
