When doing a full installation of Cygiwn on a clean machine, setup.exe runs into an error when running the postinstall script for gtk2-x11 as documented in the mail message:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-07/msg01125.html Note that when this error message occurs, X has been installed, but the X postinstall script(s) haven't been run yet. As a result, the default PATH doesn't contain /usr/X11R6/bin. The attached patch to the gtk2-x11 postinstall script works around the problem by explicitly setting the PATH for the postinstall script execution. It also changes the calls to mkdir and chmod to use absolute paths as well, though this probably really isn't neccesary with the PATH being set properly. -Samrobb --- gtk2-x11.sh.orig 2004-07-06 12:21:39.000000000 -0400 +++ gtk2-x11.sh 2004-08-24 16:32:09.538908200 -0400 @@ -1,7 +1,9 @@ #!/usr/bin/sh -mkdir -p /etc/gtk-2.0 -chmod 777 /etc/gtk-2.0 +export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin + +/usr/bin/mkdir -p /etc/gtk-2.0 +/usr/bin/chmod 777 /etc/gtk-2.0 if [ -f /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.exe ] ; then \ /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.exe > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders ; \ fi -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
