Looking at the setup.log.full I see: 2012/02/20 10:22:15 running: C:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile /etc/postinstall/coreutils.sh /etc/postinstall/coreutils.sh: Using the default version of /etc/DIR_COLORS (/etc/defaults/etc/DIR_COLORS) 2012/02/20 10:22:17 Changing gid to Administrators 2012/02/20 10:22:24 note: Installation Complete 2012/02/20 10:22:24 Ending cygwin install I looked at the script and I see no reason for it to fail. However I believe things are messed up before postinstall even runs this script. If I do the following: $ cp /etc/postinstall/coreutils.sh /tmp; echo $? 127 $ The bare cp(1) fails with 127. All kinds of commands fail with 127 like: $ ls /bin/cygwin1.dll; echo $? 127 $ id; echo $? 127 $ Everything fails! My work around is to reinstall version 8.14-1 of coreutils. Does this mean that coreutils 8.15-1 is horribly broken? -- Andrew DeFaria If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I. - Michel de Montaigne -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
