This will be a "me too message," I'm afraid. I still have an older version (Setup2.194.2.26) which works to download and/or install most stuff, but it won't download some of the newer packages that I want, and it's having big problems with a lot of the X-Free86 programs- I can't get XFree86-fenc, XFree86-fnts, XFree86-fscl, XFree86-html, XFree86-prog, or XFree86-ps to install at all- I get this message instead:
Cannot open (null) for reading: No such file Don't know if that's a problem with the setup.exe program- I can still install all of the XFree86 binaries that I downloaded directly by following the old directions in the Cygwin-XFree86 User's Guide. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- As for the setup.exe programs, I have had no success with the last three versions: The setup program 2.218.2.3 (20020510.exe) would download stuff, but would hang while it was installing and then crash. The one after that 2.218.2.4 (20020511.exe) is completely horked- it hangs every time I try to start it. And the newest version of all, the Setup.exe that I got there yesterday when you click on "Download now" would not work- it said it couldn't find the required cygwin1.dll I am using Win Me Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Drew- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Brand" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 12:49 AM Subject: setup problem(s) > I have been using a version of cygwin that I installed a while ago, and > mostly it was fine, but I wasn't completely happy (for example, "man" > always gave an error), so I decided to re-install to pick up any updates > and to ensure that I had everything installed that I might need. > > I ran the setup.exe that I had from before, and it prompted me for a > mirror and everything then crashed with a protection fault. > > So I downloaded the latest setup.exe and this one won't run at all - it > complains that cygwin1.dll can't be found (which seems a little odd as > surely that's part of what I'm trying to download). > > I'm pretty stuck right now as far as reinstalling is concerned, although > my existing install does still seem to work. > > Any ideas ? > > Thanks, > > Chris > > -- > 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/
