First off, a note to anyone including either setup logs or cygcheck output: *please* include it as an *uncompressed* *text* *attachment* (Colin, I'm not picking on you personally). It really does screw up the archive search with false positives.

It's usually a good idea to select a local directory outside of your Cygwin tree. Try moving the whole /tmp somewhere outside of Cygwin tree (I use C:\install\Cygwin), and re-run setup with the new local directory. You may have to create a new /tmp, as well. > [The rest of setup.log.full snipped] > > I've tried other ftp sites (old .ini's etc) and still get the same result. > I also user CPAN to update my perl..so maybe not in sync with cygwin? > Colin Setup is not dependent on perl (and I'd be surprised if any postinstall script is).
