cydwin not starting - cygreadline6.dll missing
Dear all, sorry for the very newbie question. I installed cydwin (I have windows XP (SP3)) with the setup.exe, adding only the openssh to the basic. However The application has failed to start because cygreadline6.dll was not found. Searching the package list gave me back zero results and google didn't help either. Where can I look for it? Or which mistake did I make in the installing? Thanks in advance, cheers -- 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/

I don't suppose you tried, first, to install Cygwin 1.7, then later installed 1.5? If so, this and other bad things will happen. See: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-01/msg00659.html The fix is to go back through setup.exe, and do a forced reinstall of bash, libreadline, and libncurses, at minimum. Either that, or totally nuke your 1.7 attempt and retry the 1.5 install from scratch. Searching the package list gave me back zero results That's weird. I can confirm. It should give you libreadline6-*. Maybe there's something broken with the package indexer. -- 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: cydwin not starting - cygreadline6.dll missing
I'm seeing the same issue -- libreadline isn't in the package list at all on the search cgi-bin web page and my installation is dying on a fresh install -- and there's no libreadline6 (or any readline lib) in the package list.

Help! Me too! I tried an install to a completely clean newly installed XP SP2 and it failed with bash.exe failing to find cygreadline6.dll. I did the exact same thing on the 28th of Jan and it worked a treat so what changed!

Re: cydwin not starting - cygreadline6.dll missing
I can confirm this issue. I have never tried to install 1.7 on my machine. After a total wipe of Cygwin (using the instructions at http://cygwin.com/faq.html section 2.17), I attempted to reinstall Cygwin. I used http://mirrors.xmission.com as the download site. I accepted the default set of packages. When running /etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh during the installation, I got this error: This application has failed to start because cygreadline6.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. When I click OK, I get the same error for each of the other /etc/postinstall scripts. I have tried with http://mirrors.kernel.org and got the same problem. libreadline does not appear in the package list!
