But I'm still going to reply so that others finding this thread don't get misinformation. - delete all files from the local install directory e.g. ftp%22%3A%2F%2F%somemirror-filefolder.com Overkill. Okay if you wanted to save diskspace, but it probably made your redownload slower (since setup.exe is smart enough to avoid a download if the version of a package in your local install directory is already the most current version). - run setup, select All, then click the arrow switch to cycle through actions. Keep - Install - until Uninstall is displayed. Follow wizard until Uninstall is complete. Overkill. setup.exe is designed to work without requiring an uninstall step. Furthermore, using setup.exe's uninstall doesn't uninstall everything; see the FAQ. - verify absence of cygwin1.dll (click desktop icon, get error) - run setup.exe again, with Defaults Cygwin runs, with just the basics. Find and startup work without the getline error. Yes, when using setup.exe to pull in the default, you will get a working cygwin with a working find.exe. Now, let's see if I can add more than the basic defaults without horking it up... - reboot Overkill, if setup.exe did not tell you to do so. A reboot is only necessary if you are upgrading a .dll or .exe that is still resident in memory, in which case setup.exe tells you so. - run setup.exe - choose a mirror - make a zillion selections - let the installer run It works now! Yes, it will work as long as you don't use experimental packages without following the directions associated with those experimental packages. I don't know which of these actions fixed the installation. Maybe one of the ini files in the install directory had a bad combination of versions. I'm sure I did not pick the exact same set of packages to install. I did not remove the exes and other files left behind after the uninstall. Using the default install avoids experimental packages. Again, for you to get the warning that find.exe could not find getline(), you had to have installed the experimental version of findutils at some point in time. So your reinstallation procedure probably did the trick of getting findutils-4.2.25-2 instead of findutils-4.2.27-1, which was your original problem, along with killing a lot of your time in performing all the steps I marked overkill. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!

procedure entry point getline could not be located
I seem to have a cygwin problem that others have had, but the fixes that worked for them have not fixed my installation. What further steps can I take to try and fix the error The procedure entry point getline could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll? Thanks. Window title: find.exe - Entry point not found Message: The procedure entry point getline could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll Happens when: I launch cygwin or invoke find.exe. I had a working but limited default install of Cygwin on Windows XP. I ran the installer later, added dev tools, vim, wget, etc. Had some disconnections after choosing modules before setup.exe did the downloads. Because of the disconnects, I used 2 or 3 different mirrors on these attempts (Maybe I got dlls out-of-sync that way?) Posts I've read: FAQ, Problems, and 40 posts (see list below). The gist from other posts: You have an old version of cygwin1.dll You have multiple copies of cygwin1.dll You have cygwin1.dll in a software distribution After each attempt to fix, you need to reboot Steps I've Tried: Eliminating Duplicates: No duplicate cygwin1.dll showed up through the following searches. Windows XP Explorer find (one copy, as expected) In CMD.EXE: cd C:\ dir cygwin1.dll /s /a /b CYGWIN_DLL_S_A_B.txt more \CYGWIN_DLL_S_A_B.txt C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll (one copy, as expected) In Cygwin terminal: cd /cygdrive/c/ ls -R1 CYGWIN_DLL_ls-R1.txt $ grep -c 'cygwin1.dll' /cygdrive/c/CYGWIN_DLL_ls-R1.txt 1 (Rebooting, restarting cygwin from desktop shortcut, with each attempt) Shutting off firewall (which alerted as hostname.exe and uname.exe would launch) Rolling back GNU coreutils to 5.2.1-5 from 5.3.0-9 Moving cygwin1.dll, and then selecting Reinstall in the installer.

Re: procedure entry point getline could not be located
What further steps can I take to try and fix the error The procedure entry point getline could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll? Although you did extensive research, you failed to realize that providing the output of cygcheck -svr is essential to helping us determine your problem. However, my guess is as follows: You are probably running cygwin 1.5.18 and tried the experimental findutils 4.2.27-1. This won't work. Findutils 4.2.27 is experimental for a reason - it depends on getline(), which cygwin1.dll did not provide until in the snapshots following 1.5.18. To fix the problem, either downgrade findutils back to the stable 4.2.25-2, or upgrade cygwin to a current snapshot (see earlier threads from this week for instructions on installing a snapshot). -- Eric Blake volunteer cygwin findutils maintainer -- 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/
