Marcus Williams wrote: Hi - I'm currently trying to reinstall cygwin but I'm unable to because during the final stages of installation something is complaining about xmlcatalog.exe being unable to find libxml2.dll. This causes the whole installation to fail and then tries to rewind (failing as well). What could be causing this? This has been happening with the latest version (and earlier ones, but I'm not sure how early) pulled from a mirror today. You need libxml2-devel for that file (enter 'libxml2.dll' at http://cygwin.com/packages). It should have been automatically selected when you selected libxml2, but there may be a missing dependency. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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/

Looks like the maintainer might have compiled libxml2-devel with --disable-shared and then compiled xmlcatalog with --enable-shared. Your quickest workround would probably be either rebuilding xmlcatalog from source, giving it the --disable-shared option at configure time so it builds and links against the static libxml2.a, or to rebuild the libxml2-devel package from source (default options this time) so as to generate your own copy of libxml2.dll. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today -- 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/

Do they build outside of cygwin (I dont have a cygwin environment at all at the moment ... getting twitchy without it!)? I wouldn't worry that your entire cygwin install is borked just because of this problem with libxml2 (unless you use lots of stuff like gnome or whatever that depends on it). You should be able to cd into /etc/postinstall and manually run any of the scripts that haven't been tagged with '.done' to complete the install. I also wouldn't bother going to the effort of setting up a mingw-to-cygwin cross compiler just for this. Let's see if we can't fix the problem more easily first.

And following-up to my own posts, but this is worth saying too: maintainer forgot to package it with the correct prefix. You might be able to fix the problem by a rename: mv /bin/cygxml2-2.dll /bin/libxml2.dll Marcus, that's still your best bet for a quick workaround that'll get setup.exe to run all the way through to completion. I'd use cp rather than mv, though, just to be on the safe side.

This leads me to believe that the poster has a foreign/non-cygwin version of xmlcatalog in his path which is actually being run from the postinstall. To the original poster: When you get the popup about the missing DLL, run something like Process Explorer and see exactly which xmlcatalog.exe is trying to be run. I'm willing to bet that it's not the Cygwin one and that you have a PATH problem, because the Cygwin xmlcatalog does not need any such libxml2.dll.

This leads me to believe that the poster has a foreign/non-cygwin version of xmlcatalog in his path which is actually being run from the postinstall. That's pretty much what I had concluded, but I did go so far as to download and check a really old libxml2 package tarball, just in case an early version had mistakenly supplied / linked against a non-cyg-prefixed version of the dll, and it was fixed in more recent versions and the transition was causing a problem. Sure enough, neither libxml2-2.6.11-1.tar.bz2 nor libxml2-2.6.13-1.tar.bz2 required any libxml2.dll, so I reckon that theory is ruled out. Marcus! You still there?
