Dear Cygwin: I have a rather odd problem when I try to run as.exe from the makefile for zip/unzip (I'm trying to add encryption support as per the instructions in the link given elseware on your web site). I keep getting a "permission denied" error. I also noticed the same error while trying to run zipinfo from anywhere - even the containing directory!
Also, I dug up the following mailing-list submission (I'm including the top portion only, to conserve space). You may wish to x-ref with it. Re: Permission denied running programs in other directories From: "Paul G." <pgarceau at qwest dot net> To: cygwin at cygwin dot com Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2001 15:46:52 -0800 Subject: Re: Permission denied running programs in other directories Organization: Paul G. Reply-to: pgarceau at qwest dot net Unlike Paul, I am running Cygwin natively on Win98-SE. Here is the output from make: gcc -c -O2 -Wall -DWIN32 -DASM_CRC -I. -ozip.o zip.c gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe': Permission denied make: *** [zip.o] Error 1 and here is the output from cygcheck -s -v -r: Cygnus Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Fri Dec 21 17:19:34 2001 Windows 98 SE Ver 4.10 Build 2222 Path: C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin C:\cygwin\bin C:\cygwin\bin c:\WINDOWS c:\WINDOWS\COMMAND c:\PROGRA~1\WIN98RK c:\PROGRA~1\DOSARCRS\ZIP c:\PROGRA~1\DOSARCRS\GZIP c:\PROGRA~1\DOSARCRS\ARJ32 c:\PROGRA~1\DOSARCRS\ZOO c:\PROGRA~1\DOSARCRS\LHA c:\PROGRA~1\DOSARCRS\JAR c:\PROGRA~1\DOSARCRS\ARC .
