RE: install 'cron' packages in cygwin
Hi, here is the output from 'cygcheck -s'. it looks like cron and vim are installed. I see a src directory in which I have sourcce codes for cron and vim. I don't know whether I have to compile them to get them to work. Can I install the binary directly ?

RE: install 'cron' packages in cygwin
Hi cgf, I checked the output from 'cygcheck -s'. There is an entry called 'vim' and there is no -src against it, but I don't see any vim.exe either under /bin or /sbin or /usr/sbin. When I type 'vim' at the dollar prompt, it says 'command not found'. How do I check whether 'vim' is installed or not ? thanks Santi -Original Message- From: Christopher Faylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 9:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: install 'cron' packages in cygwin On Wed, Feb 06, 2002 at 02:29:01PM -, Prakriteswar Santikary wrote: Hi, here is the output from 'cygcheck -s'. it looks like cron and vim are installed.

RE: install 'cron' packages in cygwin
cgf, when I type 'cygcheck -s' I see both 'vim' and 'vim-src'. Does that mean I have installed the -src ? I uninstalled the vim by clicking 'keep' to 'uninstall', Reinstalled it but still when I type 'vim' it says command not found. Where am I going wrong ? thanks for your help.

It's hard to conceive of a situation where you ran setup.exe, it seemed to successfully install the package, and nothing showed up in /bin. If I had to guess, I'd say that you had just installed the -src packages somehow and not the binary, possibly by clicking on the source column and not on the Skip column when you ran setup.exe. I don't know if there is a problem with cygcheck.exe where it is reporting a binary package being installed when it isn't, but that's my educated guess. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

I don't have a clue. If you don't have a vim in /bin/vim.exe or /usr/bin/vim.exe after running setup.exe and definitely installing it, then you are in a very very small minority. I assume that it probably actually is on your system somewhere. If this was my problem, I would have searched the system for vim.exe a while ago. Have you done that? Have you used the Windows Find to look for vim.exe? I really don't know what's happening. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

The Categories part of the setup process has all sorts of interesting things available, if you click on parts of the screen which contain categories. In this case, you should click on the Admin category if you want to see the cron selection. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
