Hi, Maybe it's a known bug, but I'm new with CVS and I found it when using it with OS "Windows 2000" (problem of "bad file descriptor" concerning lock files). The bug appears in file : Wincvs\cvsgui\cvs-1.10\src\rcs.c in function : "static FILE * rcs_internal_lockfile (rcsfile) char *rcsfile;" To solve it, replace rcs_lockfd = CVS_OPEN(rcs_lockfile, OPEN_BINARY | O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_TRUNC, S_IRUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH); with : rcs_lockfd = CVS_OPEN(rcs_lockfile, OPEN_BINARY | O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_TRUNC, 0666); (or with any rights that enable to write in the lock file) Hope that Helps. -- Emmanuel GUY THALES-ISR [EMAIL PROTECTED] 66-68 avenue Pierre Brossolette Tel : 01.41.48.01.55 92240 Malakoff - FRANCE _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
