Argh, ok - that un-informative message :( The command > > unzip -q -o /cygdrive/c/Users/Public/GNUCash_Downloads/readline- > 5.1-lib.zip -d /cygdrive//c/soft/readline > > from the cygwin command line works. > > I then went back into msys and rerun install.sh and it went on to the next > download, unzip where it failed again. > > One option is to remove cygwin but I do nott wish to do this at this point > in time. > > Another option is to butcher Packagin/* to use the cygwin unzip but I do > not know where to start, or am not prepared to put the time in to do this. > > Another option is to download the source for unzip, configure/make/install > and use that unzip. > > A third option is to find out why unzip is not working in msys. I like this option ;) Let's start by: 1. confirm that unzip actually works in vista by opening up the windows command prompt and trying it there. for example I did (adjust your directories as needed): c:\soft\downloads>c:\soft\tools\bin\unzip.exe -q -o c:\soft\downloads\readline-5.0-lib.zip -d c:\soft\downloads\temp ok, assuming this went alright: 2. Try issuing the exact same command (except escape the backslash) in msys. c:\\soft\\tools\\bin\\unzip.exe -q -o c:\\soft\\downloads\\readline- 5.0-lib.zip -d c:\\soft\\downloads\\temp 3. Try the same command but with the unix paths in msys /c/soft/tools/bin/unzip.exe -q -o /c/soft/downloads/readline-5.0-lib.zip -d /c/soft/downloads/temp I'm hoping something will fail in these three steps to give us an idea as to where the problem lies.
