Hi Igor,

regard to the issue. I also pestered [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Can you telnet to port 80? Do you have an /etc/hosts with cygwin.com's
address (which may be stale)?
Thanks for the ideas...
None of the computers at my site can connect to cygwin.com:80, I did try
to telnet... "Connection refused" is the closest to an explaination
I've received.
I did check windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, no cygwin entry....
cygwin works for other ports, only 80 is refused. So I checked my
Sonicwall/firewall, but there's no filters that I could see that have
anything to do with cygwin or port 80, let alone both.
I trying to skirt this issue of no cygwin.com:80 by downloading a
mirrored copy of cygwin packages.
That's what you're supposed to do.
I used ncftpget -R
ftp://mirror.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/release/* Upon
reflection wget probably would have made this much simpler... because
ncftpget only works 2 directory levels deep in recursion. Then I used
setup.exe to install from a local directory. But there appears to be no
specific source listing of packages to install. It listed everything
and the cited packages caused setup.exe to GPF.
This however is met with the setup GPFing on various packages:
_obsolete/fileutils
mhash
_obsolete/sh-utils
_obsolete/textutils
Unchecking these packages seems to help, but there's an awful lot of
stuff in misc packages and takes a while to install up to the next
package that gpf's. :/
Are you using an ancient version of setup? What does the first page
report?
2.457.2.2 is the version of setup I had those issues with.
I tried an older one (February 2004 version) too, but think it had the
same issues.
Any thoughts of wisdom for me?
Can you access cygwin.com via one of its aliases,
<http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/> or <http://sourceware.org/cygwin/>?
Some mirrors also have copies of setup.exe -- see if getting a more recent
version fixes your problem. The one on cygwin.com is from January 2005,
version 2.457.2.2. Try also getting a snapshot
(<http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-apps/2005-05/msg00250.html>).
HTH,
Igor
I copied a psudo snapshot from mirrors.kernel.org as mentioned, using
ncftpget. Althought this does not resolve my issue of connecting to
cygwin.com:80 I was able to install from the local directory, everything
except those 4 packages.
Running setup again, it gpfs immediatly on the on the same packages. My
guess is that those packages aren't supposed to be installed in a clean
setup, though mhash seems like it doesn't belong in that mix.
