Could be a rebase issue. Try installing the package, read the README,
and
follow the instructions for rebasing your system.
I ran rebaseall (w/ no arguments) and the above find command still fails
in the same way. Anything else I can try?
Perhaps this will help:

Disable the Logitech Process Monitor service associated with your webcam?
Uninstall Agnitum Outpost? Disable McAffee's buffer overflow protection
feature? (I'm beginning to suspect something is interfering in your system;
buggy device drivers / AV / PFW software have been known to break cygwin in
just this kind of way).

Blow away your current install using the procedure in the FAQ, but keep the
local package directory where setup.exe stored its downloaded files. Re-run
setup.exe, tell it to install from local directory, bingo. Just click all
the way through.

I'm not sure what was going on with the offending scripts... Regards, Eric It seems I spoke too soon, now it setup.exe hangs on the /etc/postinstall/00ash.sh script. The installation seems incomplete. For example, the ls command doesn't work. So it seems that whatever was going on with the preinstall scripts is also happening w/ th postinstall scripts, but now I don't have a functioning environment in which to run them by hand :-( I found a bunch of stalled processes running ash, bash and sh. I killed them all and rebooted for good measure. :-) When I ran setup.exe again, it gets as far as running /etc/postinstall/gnugo.sh and then stalls. The environment seems to be more-or-less working.

Yes, remount. Sorry about that. My proofreading wasn't too good this

Cygcheck looks OK to me. It's not immediately obvious to me why the

Artie, Eric, as long as it's got as far as the postinstall stage, that means most of the installation is there; postinstall scripts are mostly written in bash shell script, and at the time they are run enough of cygwin should have been installed for them to work. Ceratinly all the binary files should have been installed, and since cygcheck is a native win32 program and will run no matter how borked the cygwin installation is, you should have no problems invoking it from a DOS shell in the cygwin bin dir. One other thing: I was updating a previous Cygwin installation. From a quick spot-check it seems that the installer didn't update anything: for example gcc still says it's version 3.3.3-1 even though the installer reports that the most recent version is 3.4.4-1. I also noticed that setup.log is dated 6/21/2004 and has no entries in it newer than that date. All of this leads me to suspect that the installer didn't update anything...

The installation seems incomplete. For example, the ls command doesn't work. So it seems that whatever was going on with the preinstall scripts is also happening w/ th postinstall scripts, but now I don't have a functioning environment in which to run them by hand :-( Regards, Eric -- 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/
Re: Install hangs
I recently experienced a similar scenario, posted a general description of the user experience (with some questions) in an attempt to elicit general comments. I rcv'd the same response as those before me... as is evidenced in the archives. That is, no response. I suppose the philosophy is: if there is no response then no problem exists. ;-) On Mon, 2006-09-25 at 14:38 -1000, Eric Mader wrote: Hello, I'm trying to update my Cygwin installation using setup.exe v. 2.510.2.2 (the latest as of a few hours ago).

I'm running XP SP2 on a TP R50p. Does anybody have any idea what's going on here, and how to work around it?
