tetex installation error: texconfig init fails
Hi! I am not managing to get tetex installed. The step `texconfig init' fails. Below I have copied the quick installation help in /usr/doc/Cygwin/tetex-beta20001218.README and the results I have got # Quick Installation: # # Here is an overview of a typical installation: # # 1] install the binaries with the cygwin setup as usual; OK # 2] install TDS at /usr/share/texmf (see above): # cd /usr/share # mkdir -p texmf # tar -zxf teTeX-src-1.0.tar.gz This seems strange to me. Isn't it the teTex-texmf tarfile that I have to untar in texmf directory? Do I have to install the whole tetex distribution, enter the teTeX-1.0 and run configure? (I also tried this but configure fails.) # 3] check the configuration files in /usr/share/texmf/web2c # texmf.cnf, fmtutil.cnf and mktex.cnf #please note that the distributed configuration files are #(with extension) frozen to avoid overwriting. Do I have to rename these .frozen files later. I tried both possibiblities but the problem persists. # 4] configure TeX: # texconfig confall # texconfig rehash (or mktexlsr) # texconfig init First two commands run without error. The third produces the error Running mf to create plain base ... ! mf.pool doesn't match; tangle me again (or fix the path). and similar errors for several .pool files appearing in /usr/share/texmf/web2c # and to configure what you need: # texconfig # # See /usr/doc/tetex-XXX/QuickInstall for more informations. As I said I also tried this but configure does not find lex... For the moment when I run latex I get I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'! Thanks a lot in advance for any suggestion!

Permission denied problem
Hi, Is there a way to make cygwin executables to have the same permission rights as cmd.exe or other windows applications? For the moment I can't access a directory inside cygwin: $ ls /cygdrive/x/PPP/QQQ ls: cannot open directory /cygdrive/x/PPP/QQQ/: Permission denied Windows applications like windows explorer, emacs (windows emacs not the one from cygwin) navigate inside the QQQ directory without problems. Using DOS cmd.exe window I can make the dir command on the QQQ directory: X:\PPP\QQQ>dir 22/11/2006 15:48 RRR 05/01/2007 17:23 SSS However using cygwin ls from DOS does not work: X:\PPP\QQQ>c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe /usr/bin/ls: cannot open directory .: Permission denied while it works fine on other directories. Checking the permissions of the QQQ directory I realise that effectively the IT staff in charge of the windows network has restricted to permissions to it (I couldn't guess what they mean). I have little hope to have their help to solve the problem, that is why I would like to get ls to have the same rights as dir. Cygwin does not tell me much about the permissions of the directory. $ ls /cygdrive/x/PPP | grep QQQ drwxr-xr-x 1 marko mkgroup-l-d 0 Jan 31 10:25 QQQ Thank you very much in advance, Marko -- 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/
Permission denied problem
Hi, I have a permission denied problem with a specific network directory $ ls /cygdrive/x/PPP/QQQ ls: cannot open directory /cygdrive/x/PPP/QQQ: Permission denied I described this problem some time ago in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-02/msg00023.html Larry Hall suggested me to try nontsec, but this did not change the behaviour. I also read the doc in http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html but couldn't get a solution for the problem. getfacl gives the same answer $ getfacl.exe /cygdrive/x/PPP/QQQ # file: /cygdrive/x/PPP/QQQ # owner: ffa195 # group: mkgroup-l-d user::rwx group::r-x other:r-x mask:rwx for both the directories with the permission problem and for other directories without the problem. Thank you very much in advance!

Is there someone offering cygwin paid support?
Hello, Is there someone that could offer paid support for a cygwin problem I have? I have tried to contact Red Hat but they did not seem interested in offering support for the type of problem I have (or perhaps I didn't reach the right person...). It is described in the cygwin list: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-02/msg00023.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-08/msg00468.html http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-08/msg00517.html Some people helped, but it was not enough to solve the problem.

I have already tried the list, some people helped, someone suggested me to use cacls, which certainly put me closer to the solution, but it was not enough. If you have an idea of what else I could try please tell me. DOS commands have no permission problem, emacs for windows also opens the directory without problems, but all cygwin commands get a permission denied error...

PROBLEM SOLVED! (was: Re: Is there someone offering cygwin paid support?)
THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED. Thanks a lot to everyone that helped. The problem disappeared by itself without any manipulations on my side. Probably the network administrators changed something. Keith: thanks for the tip of using Process Explorer. It is a very nice tool. d. henman: switching to linux is a good idea, I did it at home, but at work I am not allowed (I know, perhaps I should change the job too...) Steve: thanks for the help and the suggestions.

making executable independent of cygwin with gcc
Hi, Is there a way to create an executable from a C source that will run on windows without cygwin? The gcc command I use is simply: gcc -I. -lm -g -o unit_comm $(objects) The error I get when running the program in a windows system without cygwin is: "This application has failed to start because cygwin1.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem." Thanks a lot in advance!
