Same issue here. On Vista, with UAC enabled, I used the packaged perl
5.10 and Tk and tried to install Devel::ptkdb with cpan. No dice.
Tried to do it manually via

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

At make, I got this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/.cpan/sources/authors/id/A/AE/AEPAGE/Devel-ptkdb-1.1091
$ make

ERROR: Can't create 'blib/lib/auto'
Do not have write permissions on '/'

 at -e line 1

My cygwin lives at c:\opt\cygwin. A list of of / reveals:

Why is / set to 000???

Well after a bit of googling around, the answer is this:

1) In a Windows cmd command prompt, cd where your cygwin lives - mine
is at c:\opt\cygwin
2) cd ..
3) attrib -r cywgin - that removed the read-only bit. Don't try it in
Windows Explorer; it does not "stick"
4) Then in a Cygwin window, cd /
5) chmod 777 .

Now, you should be set. I did the install and got no 'cannot write to /' errors.

I'll second that suggestion. Seeing as Cygwin is, techncially, a
"program", it should, at worst, be installed in C:\Program Files. At
best, I put all of my "non windows" stuff (Cygwin, Native built Perl,
native build xemacs, etc) in C:\opt. Then, depending on what I am
doing on a particular box, I rig my Windows home directory to be the
Cygwin home. But, if this thread holds true, we probably shouldn't
even do that anymore on Vista.

Ouch. My apologies. Shoulda read the readme.

That's easy.

Then I will not worry about these and continue to make install.

Thank you for your time.

And by the way, just by way of compliment for anyone who is
"listening" - I am actually finding it easier to set up cygwin on
Vista than to get Ubuntu running on a separate box! Damn shame cygwin
isn't its own distribution.

You have an Internet Explorer shortcut (the .lnk file) gumming up the works.

Looks like the logo for YetAnotherStarTrekSeries, this time in an

It would serve him right to subscribe him and then bounce all email
from him so the list never sees it...

Probably because many folks have used/are using Korn shell where if, I think, you do

export ENV=~/.kshrc

then ~/.kshrc is run at each invocation, interactive or not, login or not.

I think.

So, what made you decide to post this?
