In my case, the following fix worked: - delete all files from the local install directory
e.g. ftp%22%3A%2F%2F%somemirror-filefolder.com - run setup, select All, then click the arrow switch to cycle through actions. Keep - Install - until "Uninstall" is displayed. Follow wizard until "Uninstall is complete". - verify absence of cygwin1.dll (click desktop icon, get error) - run setup.exe again, with "Defaults" Cygwin runs, with just the basics. Find and startup work without the "getline" error. Now, let's see if I can add more than the basic defaults without horking it up... - reboot - run setup.exe - choose a mirror - make a zillion selections - let the installer run It works now! I don't know which of these actions fixed the installation. Maybe one of the ini files in the install directory had a bad combination of versions. I'm sure I did not pick the exact same set of packages to install. I did not remove the exes and other files left behind after the uninstall. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! -- 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/
