After running Cygwin setup to update my Cygwin install, I got a popup error, so I looked in /var/log/setup.log. (BTW, it would be very helpful for the popup to say "Check /var/log/setup.log" instead of "Check setup.log".)
setup.log said, among other things: 2010/08/16 00:50:22 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile /etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh 2010/08/16 00:50:30 can't run /etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh: No such file 2010/08/16 00:50:30 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile /etc/postinstall/bash.sh 2010/08/16 00:50:30 can't run /etc/postinstall/bash.sh: No such file 2010/08/16 00:50:30 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile /etc/postinstall/docbook-xml42.sh 2010/08/16 00:50:30 abnormal exit: exit code=1 I looked in C:/cygwin/etc/postinstall. Every single script there had ".done" appended to its name, eg bash.sh => bash.sh.done Hence none of the scripts could be run. This is on Windows XP SP3, with an AMD64. I think I downloaded files from ftp://mirror.cs.vt.edu, or possibly ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu . -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
