I got cygwin working once again on my problem machine. (Hooray!) The problem was that the snapshot tar file, cygwin-inst-20060614.tar.bz2, had cygwin1.dll in /usr/bin but failed to replace the old cygwin1.dll in /bin. I copied over the new cygwin1.dll into /bin, and things are working nicely once again.
Many thanks for the helpful suggestions. My antivirus and antispyware software programs are still running on the same PC. I did not touch them. It will be a sad day when cygwin can no longer run alongside these programs. Our corporate guidelines require us to have antivirus and antispyware software running on our corporate PCs; otherwise, we are denied connectivity to the corporate network. And anyway, shouldn't everyone run antivirus and antispyware programs on their PCs, corporate or private? I love cygwin and think it's a great package, but disabling antivirus and/or antispyware software to enable cygwin to run seems like too high a price to pay. Am I missing something here? Anyway, I'm glad it's all running now. Hope things continue that way. -- Joe -- 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/
