I wanted to update my old cygwin (installed under C:\cygwin), so I installed the new one under C:\cygwin1. Then I deleted the old one, and renamed the new one to C:\cygwin. However, most programs did not work. Instead of sorting out the paths, I decided to do a fresh install all over again. I deleted the C:\cygwin directory, and the temporary download directory on my desktop. I looked everywhere to make sure that there was no files hanging around. Then I downloaded cygwin all over again (using setup.exe) and installed it under C:\cygwin. However, there still seems to be some 'memory' about my previous cygwin install. While most of the software went under C:\cygwin, it still created C:\cygwin1. All the X11 fonts were installed under C:\cygwin1. The fonts directory was missing under C:\cygwin. I am not sure where setup.exe got this information from. If I manually move the fonts directory to C:\cygwin, X11 refuses to run.
I am puzzled where the install program is getting the old directory name from. Cygwin must be leaving something behind in my computer that I don't know about. Any ideas? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
