I attempted to reinstall Cygwin on my system. The reinstall kept seeming to get locked up. So, after downloading all of Cygwin to a local directory, I moved the install directory out of the way and tried to install from (I guess) scratch. Cygwin seemed to always get stuck in the man-db.sh script during the post-install process. I'm not sure if the process was conflicting with the McAfee virus scanner. I was finally able to kill the man-db.sh script after ~12 hours of running and the installer seemed to go on and finish the installation. I'm not sure, though, what the state of the install is.
1. Is this a known problem? 2. Can I rerun the postinstall/man-db.sh script by hand? If so, how? 3. Or is there a script that I could run instead? -- David Masterson Programmer At Large -- 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
