Once again I'm required to use cygwin. Once again I'm having trouble. I notice that when I download from different places, I get different things included. In particular, I just downloaded /installed from anl.gov and told it to "install" all. First time I open a cygwin window I notice a problem ... it gives me two lines of telling me it can't find grep ... (this happens while it's going through the stuff in profile.d). I check /usr/bin and sure enough there is no grep in there. I do a find in the entire cygwin directory ... it's nowhere to be found. I try copying grep from a far previous version of cygwin ... doesn't work (some kind of missing DLL error).
This has happened previously on other installs and is among the primary reasons I never use cygwin unless I'm forced into it. I think if I could just find 'the right site' that had everything in it ... one I could depend on to always include the sensible stuff at least (grep, gawk, Image Magick, the standard stuff) .. that this would be a much less irritating experience. Does such a site exist? Where is THE place from which to download cygwin? k -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
