I've encountered an odd problem installing cygwin on Windows Server 2003
R2, Enterprise x64 edition. This is a default installation of cygwin
from yesterday on a fresh Windows installation on a Xen VM hosted by
SLES10SP1.
The installer runs normally, but most of the postinstall scripts fail.
I eventually traced the problem to a failure with bash's builtin "test"
and "[" commands.
If I run a basic "test" command like this:
$ test -e /
then the shell simply exits, without printing any error messages. There
are no errors reported in the Windows error log. If I try this:
$ test -e / ; echo hi
then the shell exits without echoing, and without printing any error
messages. If I use the external test command:
$ /bin/test -e / ; echo hi
then "hi" is echoed as expected. This happens with almost all arguments
to "test" that I've tried... even "test 1" kills the shell in the same
way. However, just "test" with no arguments doesn't trigger the problem.
Cygwin1.dll and bash from various time periods fail in the same way.
Cygwin versions which work on other machines with other versions of
Windows fail on this machine. So it appears to be an issue with this
particular Windows installation.
Any suggestions on what to try? I see from the mailing list that others
have cygwin working on Windows Server 2003 64-bit.
Cygcheck output is below. Strace output available on request. (Note
that cygcheck shows Microsoft's SUA is installed. It failed the same
way before and after I installed SUA.)
Thanks,
