procedure entry point getline could not be located

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri, 13 Jan 2006 21:06:21 -0800

I seem to have a cygwin problem that others have had, but the fixes that worked


for them have not fixed my installation.

What further steps can I take to try and fix the error "The procedure entry 
point getline could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll"?

Thanks.



Window title:   find.exe - Entry point not found

Message: The procedure entry point getline could not be located in the 

         dynamic link library cygwin1.dll



Happens when:   I launch cygwin or invoke find.exe.



I had a working but limited "default" install of Cygwin on Windows XP.

I ran the installer later, added dev tools, vim, wget, etc. Had

some disconnections after choosing modules before setup.exe did the downloads.

Because of the disconnects, I used 2 or 3 different mirrors on these attempts 
(Maybe I got dlls out-of-sync that way?)



Posts I've read: FAQ, Problems, and 40 posts (see list below).

The gist from other posts:

        You have an old version of cygwin1.dll

        You have multiple copies of cygwin1.dll

        You have cygwin1.dll in a software distribution

        After each attempt to fix, you need to reboot

        

Steps I've Tried:

Eliminating Duplicates: No duplicate cygwin1.dll showed up through the 

following searches.

Windows XP Explorer find       (one copy, as expected)

In CMD.EXE:

        cd C:\

        dir cygwin1.dll /s /a /b >CYGWIN_DLL_S_A_B.txt

        more \CYGWIN_DLL_S_A_B.txt

                C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll (one copy, as expected)

In Cygwin terminal:

        cd /cygdrive/c/

        ls -R1 > CYGWIN_DLL_ls-R1.txt

        $ grep -c 'cygwin1.dll' /cygdrive/c/CYGWIN_DLL_ls-R1.txt

                1



(Rebooting, restarting cygwin from desktop shortcut, with each attempt)

Shutting off firewall (which alerted as hostname.exe and uname.exe would launch)

Rolling back GNU coreutils to 5.2.1-5 from 5.3.0-9

Moving cygwin1.dll, and then selecting "Reinstall" in the installer.

        C:\>move C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll \home\monte\BKP\old_cygwin1.dll

Installing from local directory.
