Hi,
with your instructions I uninstalled all Symantec, McAfee, Sonic and some other
stuff that may cause problems...
I would post the other files you mentioned tonight (at the moment I have no
network access with my laptop)
But I am seeing following logs in a setup.log.postinstallXa02980 file....
4 [main] bash 3444 c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe *** fatal error - couldn't allocate
heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x6D0000, top 0x730000, reserve_size 389120,
allocsize 393216, page_const 4096
593 [main] bash 2988 child_info::sync: wait failed, pid 3444, Win32 error 0
358346 [main] bash 2988 fork:child -1 -died waiting for longjmp before
initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x100000, errno 11
And that repeats itself several time during wait time I mentioned....
Now I have 1GB in this laptopn and I can see that only 300 MB of it used during
the failure so I don't understand why it can't allocate memory...
Thx for the help

Hallo,
after this answer, I read all the FAQs that I can see and the
documentation that I could find in Cygwin files and tried several times a
new installations...
First of all, before an installation I deleted all the Cygwin inforamtion
from the registery (if I understand the FAQ correctly Cygwin doesn't need
the registry information anymore) still no success....
To be sure that I am not making any mistake, I updated also the Cygwin at
my Laptop and it did function correctly there....
Now if I compare the two behavior now, at my desktop during post install
scripts, it takes quite a time (at least 7 hours) and I see in Task
Manager lots bean shell process that are not doing anything there and
hanging. At my laptop, post install scripts take only a fraction of that
time (may be 1 hour) but actually my laptop has much less CPU power....
So I am out of answer, what can cause this bean shell process to freeze
and what can be the reason that I can't even run a simple 'ls'
command...
You cannot run the simple 'ls' command because your postinstall scripts
aren't being run (due to the hang you mentioned). You may get some
insight as to what's going on if you look at your 'setup.log.full' file
in '/var/log'.
I was hoping that reading <http://cygwin.com/problems.html> would
encourage you to *attach* (and not _append_) your cygcheck output, since
that might help us determine what's wrong on your system. Failing
that (and assuming setup.log.full hints aren't helpful), my current
WAGs are:
1. You have an old copy of cygwin1.dll on your system. Remove it.
2. You have BLODA <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA> on your system.
Remove it all.
3. You're running into a rebase problem. Read the README for the
rebase package to find out how to run rebaseall on your system.
If the above doesn't work, I recommend starting over with an install
of just the default packages (i.e. don't choose anything in 'setup.exe',
just accept all the defaults). Assuming that something that you're
installing is getting tripped up by something else on your machine,
this minimal install may avoid the problem. If not, please include
the cygcheck output as requested by <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>
as an attachment to any follow-up post.
