Please grab the logs from /var/log/ - they will be helpful. also a ls -lR from your local cache dir, and the contents of all setup.ini's in that tree...
please do not run setup.ini again until you've sent me this.

At a guess, I'd say I got the message about 30-40 times. Note that, unlike scowles' experience, setup just kept right on running after I clicked OK each time. At the end of the setup run, I was able to run bash and it worked fine (lightly tested). I searched google and the cygwin archives, using various ways of combining keywords from the message, always including '(null)'. All I found was scowles' message, which s/he posted just a few days ago. So I'm guessing it is something to do with a recent change to the cygwin setup.exe. I'm running W2K, SP2 hosted by vmware, hosted by RH Linux 7.2. Toward the end of the install process, I encountered 4 or 5 messages about a missing DLL in an error dialog, the title of which was, in at least some cases, "pdfetex": The dynamic link library cygtiff3.dll could not be found in the specified path: C:\cygwin\bin;.;C:\WINNT\System32;C:\WINNT\System; C:\WINNT;C:\cygwin\bin;C:\cygwin\bin;.;c:\cygwin Note the 3 copies in the path of C:\cygwin\bin and two copies of just a dot. When I looked in bash after the setup completed, the path looked fine, so the path in the error message is presumably something that exists just during the setup process. At the end of the setup it noted that setup was incomplete and referred me to the log. However, all the log info was from the time I downloaded files to the local machine a couple nights ago, and there were no error messages, so I don't think it would be helpful. -- ralph -- 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/
