Some script inserted by lilypond into the login script path (presumably
/etc/profile.d/lilypond-profile.sh) contained an invocation of kpsexpand.
Since kpsexpand is part of the tetex-bin package, installing tetex-bin got
rid of the "not found" message.

They do post-installation fix-up of package files (generate configuration,
conditionally add symlinks, do installation-specific stuff).

setup.exe, after installing all the packages.

There are also preremove scripts that are run before the corresponding
packages are removed.

Great.  So it was simply a missing dependency problem.

Sure it is.  The above command simply lists all the packages installed on
your machine that have postinstall scripts -- nothing wrong with having
them.  The reason I asked you to get this information initially was that
because of your screwed up mounts the postinstall scripts may not have run
properly, and reinstalling the packages was one way of getting them to
re-run, so this showed which packages to reinstall.

Re: startup problem // no longer works // profile not called

[David Baron]

I nuked and restored the Windows disk from partimage saves (attempting to 
correct a problem unrelated to Cygwin). Partimage is a bit too finicky about 
the size of the destination partition, test full size and aborts even if the 
"used data" fill fit! As I was unable to recreate the partition I had for 
Cygwin, I started over. Now it works fine.

Problem MAY have been from:

1. Having "setup" in cygwin directory AND in a cygwin/setup directory. Run 
from the setup directory caused the error since it certainly put improper 
directory references in the program icon entries. (Likely)

2. Having setup once the version cited as "do not use". (unlikely)

3. Having had a separate cygwin partition. (who knows?)

I did that.

It seems that I got rid of problem "bash: kpsexpand: command not found".

However,
$ find /etc/postinstall -name \*.done | sed 's/\.done$//' | xargs cygcheck -f | uniq > 
postinstall.txt  // Attached
postinstall.txt  contains a lot of files. Is it correct?

Ah, that explains your problem.  You have Lilypond installed, which
requires teTeX, but you don't have teTeX installed.  It's usually a good
idea to let setup.exe select the required packages -- if you unselect
them, you should know *exactly* what you're doing.

Please select "Reinstall" for all of the packages in your zzz3.txt file.
If setup selects other packages for installation, let it.  Then try
running cygwin.bat again.

Hmm, so this message doesn't show up when you do "bash --login" from a
bash shell?  Interesting...

Try 'bash --login -i -c "echo Hi"'.  If that produces the "missing
kpsexpand" error, pipe both stdout and stderr of that command through
"grep kpsexpand" (i.e.,

bash --login -i -c "echo Hi" 2>&1 | grep kpsexpand

).  If not, see what's different in the way your "cygwin.bat" invokes
bash.

> $ bash --login -x -c "echo Hi" 2>&1 | less kpsexpand

Umm, I meant

bash --login -x -c "echo Hi" 2>&1 | less

Reinstall it and see if you still get the error.  I have a feeling your
postinstall scripts didn't run properly because of the screwed-up mounts.
In fact, run

find /etc/postinstall -name \*.done | sed 's/\.done$//' | xargs cygcheck -f | uniq

Those are the packages that will likely benefit from a reinstall in your
case.

Try 'bash --login -x -c "echo Hi" 2>&1 | grep kpsexpand'.  This should
print out the line that invokes kpsexpand.  You can then use "less"
instead of "grep" to find the relevant login script sequence and figure
out which script contains that line.

  Presumably that non-cygwin installation of texmf that you have in your $PATH is
breaking the cygwin one:

Path:   C:\texmf\miktex\bin
C:\WINNT\system32
C:\WINNT
C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem
C:\cygwin\bin
C:\cygwin\X11R6\bin
C:\DJGPP\bin
C:\my-root\sys\unix-mks\bin
C:\mingw\bin
C:\my-root\sys\sage
C:\my-root\sys\araxis
C:\dm\bin
C:\Borland\Bcc55\Bin
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\FrameworkSDK\include\
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\FrameworkSDK\include\
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\bin\
C:\lcc\bin
C:/Program Files/Intel/CPP/Compiler80/Ia32/Bin
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\FrameworkSDK\include\
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\FrameworkSDK\include\
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\include\
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Lib

  I mean, yow!  You have texmf, cygwin, djgpp, MKS *and* mingw all in your path at
the same time.  That's four clashing posix-on-windoze installations plus one posix
app.  I think you'd better try isolating them from each other a bit more.

  Also, I'd imagine that the reason that your install was fine until you recently
upgraded it, doesn't mean that something in setup suddenly got broken.  I think
that in between the previous upgrade and the most recent one, you installed some
other clashing software on your computer, and it's _that_ which caused the problem
next time setup tried to work.  If the post-install scripts fail and crash owing
to running in a clashing environment, you can expect lots of stuff to go wrong.

cheers,

$ bash --login -x -c "echo Hi" 2>&1 | grep kpsexpand

$ bash --login -x -c "echo Hi" 2>&1 | less kpsexpand
kpsexpand: No such file or directory

Try 'bash --login -x -c "echo Hi" 2>&1 | grep kpsexpand'.  This should
print out the line that invokes kpsexpand.  You can then use "less"
instead of "grep" to find the relevant login script sequence and figure
out which script contains that line.

FWIW, this sounds like something one of the tetex packages would do.  Is
your tetex misconfigured somehow?  Perhaps Jan could chime in.

See .  Using the
'mount' command, you can do something like

mount -fst c:/cygwin /
mount -fst c:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin
mount -fst c:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib

It's marginally possible that your mounts aren't wrong (although the stale
fonts mount seems to suggest that they are).  Save the mounts first, by
running

mount -m > c:/saved-mounts.bat

Then try changing them to point to c:\cygwin as root, and if that doesn't
work, post snippets of the contents of the
c:\cygwin\_download\001\{,bin,lib} directories.  If you really did have
Cygwin installed there, you should be able to run saved-mounts.bat from
c:/cygwin/_download/001/bin to restore your current mounts.

Like I said, nothing is going to work until you fix your mounts.  I
don't know what has changed on your system but your root "/" dir is
mounted as "C:\cygwin\_download\001" which seems wrong unless your
entire cygwin subtree is under that dir and not "c:\cygwin" which makes
a lot more sense.  Replying that "it used to work" is not going to fix
anything.

All of these posters are complaining about the same thing.

Not at all a bad idea to read the bash man page, the helps, everything. But 
the fact is once clicking the Cygwin icon gave one an operating shell. It no 
longer does.
