I have just tried to install cygwin, using the setup.exe downloaded from cygwin.com, and installing from a local directory (rsync'ed from sources.redhat.com last night) and having installed all the packages, come to the postinstall stage and been bombarded with messages saying "The procedure entry point __fopen64 couldn not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll" or "The procedure entry point __getreent couldn not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll"
This occurs when 'bash' 'sed', 'basename' or 'uname' (and probably others) are executed. I have also recieved an "unable to locate dll" for cygpcre.dll from 'grep.exe' cygwin1.dll is installed in /bin, is this the right location or should it be in %SYSTEMROOT%? I am running Win2000 Pro SP4. Is it actually possible someone has oopsed in the dll code tree and removed these rather crucial functions? Or have have I got a corrupt dll somehow? If I can aquire a working copy of the dll, how can I cause the post-install steps to be executed without re-doing the whole install? I could really use some help here, otherwise I may be condemned to implement my computer science project in visual basic...
