Well, it looks like your network drive doesn't actually let you change the DACL, or rather just some parts of it; or it has very peculiar default DACL settings that don't quite mesh with Cygwin. The result is that when Cygwin tries to set up the POSIX permissions it actually locks you out from reading that file or directory. > How could I get setup to run correctly again? You should either use a local disk, a different network share or get the share you're using correctly configured. If you can remove all inheritable DACL on the installation directory before you attempt to install anything and assume ownership and full control, that would be worth a try.

Your assumption that Cygwin strives to be a good *POSIX* platform also applies to Linux. If you find a difference then there is a discrepancy that should be documented or resolved. However, you should determine if you need to resolve the difference if you're on differing platforms. So my statement of "if it doesn't work on Linux but does on Cygwin" still needs to be considered because of portability issues. -- cyg Simple -- 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

I would suspect BLODA, see the FAQ for what that refers to. Also, you have environment variables pointing to the old 1.7 32bit paths, they could be getting in the way so you need to remove those. -- cyg Simple -- 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
