Subj: most recent xfig-3.2.5b-2 broken. 2012.02.27.12:45:48 UT
Hi Marco (and cygwin-x folks), I will try the experiment that I think you are suggesting. If the .so is part of an older .dll, then a reinstallation of the packages should clear up the problem. I have not yet done that however because the same difficulty is emerging with the octave-3.6 that was released over the weekend. The message that I get is: gbarrick@TS207 ~/jpegs/figs $ octave /usr/bin/octave-3.6.1.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The cygcheck for octave indicates no particular problem: gbarrick@TS207 ~/jpegs/figs $ cygcheck octave Found: D:\cygwin\bin\octave Found: D:\cygwin\bin\octave -> D:\cygwin\bin\octave-3.6.1.exe D:\cygwin\bin\octave-3.6.1.exe D:\cygwin\bin\cygoctinterp-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygoctave-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygcruft-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cyggcc_s-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cyggfortran-3.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygstdc++-6.dll D:\cygwin\lib\lapack\cygblas-0.dll D:\cygwin\lib\lapack\cyglapack-0.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygreadline7.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygncursesw-10.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\USER32.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\GDI32.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygfftw3-3.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygfftw3f-3.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygpcre-0.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygqrupdate-0.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygGL-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygglapi-0.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygX11-xcb-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygX11-6.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygxcb-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygXau-6.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygXdmcp-6.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygxcb-glx-0.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygGLU-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygz.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygfontconfig-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygexpat-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygfreetype-6.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygbz2-1.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll D:\cygwin\bin\cyghdf5-7.dll I also examined the file /var/log/setup.log.full, but saw only messages that looked like successful installations of the many hundreds of files in the octave packages, plus a few messages from "io_stream:mklink" that seem to indicate successful creation of links. Is there anything that I might do to narrow down the .so or .dll that is causing the problem? It seems quite odd, because this is a new installation of cygwin (about three weeks old), and I do not think that it has had time to get mucked up with old .dll's and such.
