The texmf postinstall script can take quite a long time to run, as it does a lot of font regeneration stuff. On the other hand I have seen reports on the list of it hanging. I don't know squat about TeX but you can manually run its postinstall script from a regular bash prompt to find out what the delay/problem is. It shouldn't have anything to do with the other problems you have reported. > ^ > /!\ The CYGICONV_2.DLL file is > --- linked to missing export > CYGWIN1.DLL: _impure_ptr. This means you've got an older and incompatible version of cygwin1.dll on your system. Either you didn't reboot when setup.exe said that it was necessary, or you have some other software installed that includes its own cygwin1.dll in the PATH, or something else along these lines occured.
