python was just updated to 2.5, but everything else in the distro (and
in Ports) is still compiled for python-2.4. Besides the different
install paths (/usr/lib/python2.{4,5}), any binary extensions will not
work at all, as the libpython libraries have different sonames.
Would the python maintainer consider creating parallel-installable
python2.x packages, amd use alternatives for the /usr/bin commands?
This would help ease the transition, as well as account for those
packages that work with some but not all versions of python.

Re: NEWBIE
OK hours later and two re-installs I have come to the conclusion that none of the online tutorials are 100% accurate. More to the point: they are really lacking important informations regarding adding users. I know for a fact that the problem is related to permisions, but I have yet to track it down completley. The ONLY way i am able to have users log in successfully is if they are part of the admin group (MS SBS 2003) which is really not what I want at all. That gives them rights to the whole cygwin folder and that's just not going to work. I have read that the user needs to be able to WRITE to some files in the ETC folder, but there is so much bad information about this project, I am not sure what to think. I have had to log on locally with the user accounts in order to get cwgwin to add a home folder for my clients which is a pain becasue you have to change permissions to let the user log on locally and then log in and create a damn profile for them. Then run the bash... OMG Anyway, even after I did all that (I did resolve the passwrod error issue by doing that) it still give me the "cannot initialize SFTP protocol. Is the host running an SFTP server?" ERROR. So I guess the standard domain user does not have the rights to run something (maybe as a process?) Anyway, I have searched and SEARCHED for answers but have found non on the cygwin site or Google, and frankly, I think there is so much DIS-information out there, I am afraid to ask the wrong person. So if you can help me I would appreciate it. Can I add users WITHOUT them being in the admin group?

That is good information to have. Thanks for your reply, Bryan.
I no longer have XP installed, but found the same can be done in Vista
by opening the computer management window (Right click on my computer ->
manage ), expanding the "Local Users and Groups" tree, and clicking on
"Users." Then the instructions are the same as Bryan's, right click on
the user and hit 'rename' to set a new username.

Keith Mitchell Hi Keith, In the end, you didn't mention HOW you solved the problem... BTW, I had one problem with WinXP a lng time ago that could be related to that. I don't remember the details anymore, but the point is that after changing a username in WindowsXP, apparently the changes were made only "on the outside", meaning that I would "see" a different name but, internally, windows would still use the old one. Maybe what you are describing is really related to the way Windows handles the username changes, not Cygwin.

Bug Report: Purging Old and Invalid User Names With Spaces
Problem: Virgin Installs of CygWin on Windows XP work fine but a total purge (deletion of all CygWin files and directories) and a fresh reinstall with different set of usernames do not work properly, i.e., usernames that have been CHANGED using the XP user manager to new usernames. This problem occurred as a result of my changing all my usernames with spaces to usernames without spaces to make them Linux compatible. I wanted to thank all for the responses. After many reinstallations of CygWin, I finally identified the problem and got things working. This is just a bug report documenting my discoveries and what I believe is going on. 1. A virgin install of CygWin makes a list of all user names on the system. This list is reflected in /etc/passwd after any reinstall. I am guessing this list is stored in the Windows XP registry as this list does not exist on the drive where CygWin is installed, in my case, the D drive. This list is NEVER updated on subsequent CygWin installs. This is the REAL problem: no updates on subsequent installs. 2. Subsequent installations of CygWin utilize the aforementioned out of date username list, even though those usernames have been changed and are no longer valid 3. My problems occurred as a result of a conflict between the list of original usernames that are no longer valid created by the first virgin install of CygWin and usernames that currently valid after user manager changes. This registry entry (or whatever the source of the invalid usernames) entry needs either to either be purged before or updated as a result of subsequent CygWin installs. Again thanks to all.

Re: mdemo ltdl failure
Well, once I got the cygwin1.dbg stuff worked out, it was pretty easy to
track down: it is a bug in newlib's argz_insert:
Charles Wilson wrote:
Here's the code from newlib's argz_insert:
error_t
_DEFUN (argz_insert, (argz, argz_len, before, entry),
char **argz _AND
size_t *argz_len _AND
char *before _AND
const char *entry)
{
int len = 0;
if (before == NULL)
return argz_add(argz, argz_len, entry);
if (before < *argz || before >= *argz + *argz_len)
return EINVAL;
Note that before is always either NULL or points to some location within
the existing *argz buffer.
while (before != *argz && before[-1])
before--;
Because *argz contains NULL-delimited strings one after the other, if
the user calls this function with a before that points into the middle
of one of those strings, the preceeding two lines just back up to the
beginning of that string (or to the beginning of the current argz,
whichever comes first).
len = strlen(entry) + 1;
In the failing call, we actually do a realloc...
if(!(*argz = (char *)realloc(*argz, *argz_len + len)))
return ENOMEM;
But if we realloc the *argz buffer, then a non-NULL 'before' pointer
will be pointing into the old, freed, *argz buffer. So the following is
clearly wrong, because we are copying stuff _from_ the new *argz to a
modified location in the old (shorter) *argz -- which will overrun the
end of the old buffer by exactly strlen(entry), and clobber stuff.
Depending on the actual allocated locations of malloced data, this could
include (1) like some of the the memory held by entry, or (2) some of
the memory held by the new *argz buffer. In this case, it is (1).
memmove(before + len, before, *argz + *argz_len - before);
Then, we copy this clobbered entry data into the front of (the freed,
old *argz buffer)
memcpy(before, entry, len);
*argz_len += len;
meanwhile, the actual (newly realloc'ed) *argz buffer just contains
whatever was in *argz prior to the call to this function. Worse, with
upward malloc movement, the too-large memove above might also have
clobbered the first several bytes of the new *argz buffer, as well.
And that's what's happening in this case.
The eventual FREE(buf) error is because the first few bytes in the
malloc-managed memory for buf (e.g. just below *buf) which contain
malloc bookkeeping info, are also clobbered.
return 0;
}
I'll whip up a patch and post it to the newlib list.

Using cygwin1.dbg
I'm attempting to debug an issue with libtool, and it seems to be related to the implementation of argz_insert and/or realloc within newlib/cygwin. I'm using cygwin kernel 1.5.24-2, so I downloaded cygwin-1.5.24-2-src, and copied the cygwin1.dbg file from there into /usr/bin/ When I launched gdb/insight (gdb-20060706-2) on my target app, and ran the target, I got two popup windows: "section .text not found in /usr/bin/cygwin1.dbg" "no loadable sections found in added symbol-file /usr/bin/cygwin1.dbg" After dismissing those two popups, I tried to go ahead and debug my libtool problem. However, if I try to step into cygwin kernel functions -- like argz_insert or realloc -- I do not see source-level info in the insight window -- I only get assembly. Is this normal/expected, and if not, what am I doing wrong and how can I do source-level debugging of cygwin kernel functions using the distributed .dll/.dbg files? Or should I just build the kernel unstripped using cygwin-1.5.24-2-src, and debug against that? -- Chuck -- 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/

I need to verify this using a debug-built cygwin kernel, but it looks like within newlib's argz_insert(), the call to realloc() is not operating correctly in this instance.

Looks like you have a rebase problem. Interesting that you see it with
'ssh'. Anyway, install the rebase package, read its README in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin, and run 'rebaseall' as outlined there.

1) What could be the reason for this behaviour and how can this problem
beresolved, so that the scp command works ?
2) Which prerequisites must be met, that copying with scp works?
Remarks:
The remote Linux PC was accessible by the Ip address, used and the user
entry was ok, too.
ssh also works without problems.
I know, that there is also the tool WinSCP for these purposes - regularly I
use that.
But WinSCP fails, when a directory contains too many files (thousands ...).
By the way: In the directory, used for the statement, mentioned above, the
directory only contains a few files.
Thanks for all good hints.

It always says 'header file not found' when compiled. I've googled & searched docs for about 2hr but still stuck in this. I also read that I should do 'pkg-config gtkmm-2.4 --libs --cflags' but it always says : Package gtkmm-2.4 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtkmm-2.4.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtkmm-2.4' found I don't know which directory is gtkmm-2.4.pc is located. I've tried search the whole Cygwin directory but can't find it. I'm 100% sure cygwin package manager said I've got gtkmm-2.4 installed. Please help.
