Hi,
Just installed the latest cygwin (including Cygwin's build of perl 5.8.7) on
Windows Vista Business (64) on an AMD64 box.
Trying to access perl documentation using 'perldoc' throws an error:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/c/_32/working/math-gmpz/Math-GMPz-0.22
$ perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker
Error in tempfile() using ./XXXXXXXXXX: Parent directory (./) is not
writable
at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/Pod/Perldoc.pm line 1483
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/c/_32/working/math-gmpz/Math-GMPz-0.22
$ perldoc -f glob
Error in tempfile() using ./XXXXXXXXXX: Parent directory (./) is not
writable
at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/Pod/Perldoc.pm line 1483
-------------------------------------------------------------------
If I cd to (eg) my home directory, then the perldoc commands work fine.
Do I really have to make the cwd writable before the command will work ?
I've not had to do that in my previous Cygwin installations (on Windows
2000).
Cheers,
Rob
