RE ls: When it dosent work: No message -nothing at all. Except a line feed.
ls is involked as follows: ls <enter>( I expected the system to tell me
where I was [anyway a clue]).  Also dir <enter> (for the same reason).
Typing -a ls /bin/ls : results in Error msg command -a not found.
ls -a <enter>:[ . .. .bash.profile .bashrc .inputrc cygcheck.out].
Any other requests for info will be complied with to the best of my ability.

Hoyt

FWICS, "ls" works as designed.  You're in an "empty" directory, so you get
no output.

That's what "pwd" is for.

See above.

That was "type -a ls; /bin/ls" (literally).  But the above already
answered that -- ls *did* work, evern when you thought it didn't.

> ls -a <enter>:[ . .. .bash.profile .bashrc .inputrc cygcheck.out].

Ok, so it works -- see?  BTW, now that you have "cygcheck.out" in your
home directory, you should see it using plain "ls".

So, the "ls" problem is a non-issue, I guess.  The cygcheck output
confirms that you don't have "less" and "more" installed - install these
packages if you want to use those commands.

Installation problems

[Neanderthelle Jones]

I installed Cygwin including most to the devel stuff on Microsoft
Vista but /usr/include/bits was unpopulated.

I looked for a headers or include package on the Cygwin site without success.

I repeated the process of default + devel with no better success.

I started a download of the entire Cygwin, everything, to make sure of
getting the headers.

But this is a Microsoft operating system, and it froze because I could
not spend hours sitting in front of the computer pressing things.

I woke it up with a brief touch of the power button and the download
panel was there with the green bars doing their dance but doing
nothing else.  The download had not continued after the user interface
controlling part went to sleep.  It froze too, apparently.  The
problematic program goes into freeze even when it is doing a download.
And doesn't restart a download when it "wakes up".

And the download couldn't be restarted by various clicks, bangs,
shouts and cries.

I tried running setup.exe in the hope that it provided a way of giving
the half-completed download a prod, getting it going again.

But the new instance of setup.exe knew nothing about the one that was
running, provided no means of controlling it, could only start a new
download.

The two Cygwin-related problems here:

(1) Headers such as <bits/wordsize.h> should be there when gcc &
Co. are downloaded.  I personally know that Cygwin is 32 bit.  But the
program build needs to be able to find that out portably, not by a
Cygwin-specific hack.  It compiles on Linux: why not on Cygwin?  I
have read elsewhere a message from someone who had the same problem
with <bits/mqueue.h>, whatever that is.

If there is some reason they can't be provided, if Cygwin is
necessarily defective in that way, if it is necessary to buy some
Microsoft programming language compiler to get them, okay, but why was
I not told?  Why is there nothing about it on the Cygwin site?  Why do
I need to spend many hours discovering independently something that in
that case is well-known to cognoscenti?

(2) The setup.exe program can't restart a download when a
non-Cygwin-related problem (or Problem) has unnecessarily stopped it.

Oh, sorry.  Forget about my pointer to PTC.  It's clear you feel cheated
and just want to moan about how this open-source project has wronged you.
In that case, the proper link is:

Point taken.  I shouldn't have mentioned my time.  But if it was
impossible to provide the headers on a well-known proprietary
operating system, it is not impossible that it might be thought that

Installation problems

[George Sohos]

Hello all,

I try to run setup.exe and get the following message regardless of the mirror I
select:

(null) line 1: synatx error, unexpected LT, expecting $end

I haven't seen any recent posts on this matter, but it seems that the last time
that it happened, someone needed to apply a patch. Can you do it again please?!

Thanks in advance,

I realize that it is bad manners to replya to your post, but I haven't got the
hang of the gmane web interface, and I only noticed that other people have a
proplem after I posted this.

To answer the questions that where asked in that thread:

* I downloaded the executable that is attached to the link on
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/setup.exe
* I do not know what is the version of this executable. There is nothing obvious
indicating a version in the executable itself. I checked through the dependency
walker, ran ./setup.exe -version (and all the variants) but nothing was reported
back. Running strings on it didn't help either.

The best I can do is tell you the md5 checksum of the file I downloaded:

$ md5sum.exe -b setup.exe
5a8fdffbb86feb3389704f25876b3afb *setup.exe

Thanks again,
George

The version number is displayed when you run setup, on the first page of
the wizard.  But, as long as you are using a recent version you should
be fine, as setup.exe does not change that often.

> > (null) line 1: synatx error, unexpected LT, expecting $end

This means that the setup.ini that setup was trying to read could not be
parsed correctly.  Check the setup.log for any messages, and inspect the
setup.ini that it downloaded (look in the subdirectory corresponding to
the name of the mirror under the "download location".)  A valid
setup.ini normally begins:

# This file is automatically generated.  If you edit it, your
# edits will be discarded next time the file is generated.
# See http://cygwin.com/setup.html for details.
#
setup-timestamp: 1113526806
setup-version: 2.457.2.1

(don't worry about the setup-version string, that just specifies the
minimum setup version that is required to read it.)

It could be that for some reason the setup.ini that is being downloaded
in your case is being mangled, perhaps by some proxy server or other
software that the packets pass through.

It's working again. BTW, the setup.log didn't give much information. Just said
that the setup started and ended. The download directories in the path did not
contain a recent setup.ini file. In the end, what worked for me was to change
from Direct connection to Use IE5 settings (but in LAN settings are empty,
and I haven't touched that in a long time). Well, the other thing that was
different was that I ran setup.exe from a cygwin shell and made sure it's the
right one. I(sort of) doubt that this was the issue since all I did was execute
the same thing I was double-clicking on.

I guess, it's also possible that something changed in the repository, I don't
know how to check that.

Thanks for the reply,
George

Installation problems

[Chris Carlson]

I just thought I'd post a problem I've been having for a while now in
case if someone wants to look into it.

uname -a returns:
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 jackal 1.5.10(0.116/4/2) 2004-05-25 22:07 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin


I just did an update.  My previous download was last week.  At the time,
I requested "everything" to be installed.  This time I just allowed
"Default".

Both during the initial installation and the current installation, one
of the shell scripts failed with "find.exe" because it couldn't find
cygintl-1.dll.  I copied this file from a previous installation in order
to complete the installation.  My guess is that the new cygwin uses
cygintl-2.dll (which exists) but some of the applications (find.exe and
grep.exe) still expect cygintl-1.dll.

Also, I discovered the following in /var/log/setup.log.full:

2004/06/08 09:36:42 running: C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -c
/etc/postinstall/postinstall-lilypond.sh
rm: too few arguments
Try `rm --help' for more information.

Sounds like you're having some problems.  See 
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html> for information on data you can provide 
that would help you find the problems.

Ignore this.  This is simply a warning from the part of /etc/profile
that's supposed to run helper scripts for various applications, which
reside in /etc/profile.d.  This message means that you haven't installed
any applications that use this directory (and thus, this directory didn't
get created).  I've notified the maintainer of the "base-files" package of
this warning.

This just confirms the above.

> (dosent) ls /etc (works).

This is strange.  Are you running the right "ls"?  What is the exact
message you get when ls doesn't work?  Where are you running "ls" from --
a bash shell, or a Windows command prompt (cmd.exe)?  If from a bash
shell, what is the output of "/bin/pwd; type -a ls; /bin/ls ."?

Also, please (re)read the problem reporting guidelines at
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>, especially the bit about attaching (as
an uncompressed text *attachment*) the output of "cygcheck -svr".  This
output will contain the information that'll help in diagnosing your
problem.

> Passwd works but it changes my login password to Windows.

As it should.  For more information, "man passwd".

> There is no root user and mkuser doesnt work.

Cygwin has neither a root user nor the mkuser command.  There are multiple
users in Windows with various capabilities that the root user usually has,
the exact one to use depends on why you need to be root.

> Commands less, more, dir were not recognized.

Most likely you didn't install the "less", "more", and "fileutils"
packages.  The cygcheck output mentioned above will either confirm or deny
this.

> I dont
> think I am in cygwin but I have no idea where I am.

Judging by the prompt included above you *are* in a Cygwin bash shell.
Your other problems most likely have reasonably easy solutions, as long as
we have the cygcheck output to tell us the exact configuration of your
system.

Installation problems

[Todd Jones]

I tried downloading cygwin several times from different mirrors over the past 
24 hours with not success.  The downloads would go okay, and everything would 
appear to be installed.  However, I have no /bin or /usr/bin directory and 
cygwin1.dll is not installed.

The pc is a win98 system.  I have looked into the archive file which I 
download for both bash and cygwin and everything appears to be there.  For 
example, everything in the bash package is installed except items which go 
into the bin directory.

My install directory is C:\cygwin.  Everything else appears to be in order.  
Also, there is a /usr/X11R6/bin directory.

If anybody has any ideas I'd be appreciative.

Thanks,		Todd Jones

So, in other words, either you are using the "download" rather than the
"install" option or, more likely, you have previously installed some
other package (like the NetworkSimplicity abomination) which reset your
cygwin mount table for you.

Probably if you search your system for bash.exe using Windows Find or
Search options, you'll find it in some other directory.  Once you find
that, you should be able to find 'mount.exe' which will show you how
your mount table is screwed up.  'mount --help' will show you how to
reset your mount table and then you can reinstall things correctly.

Hi

 I installed the postgresql 7.1.3 using the cygwin setup program.
The setup.exe version is 2.125.2.10.
When i tried to run "initidb" to create the database i got the following
error

"The input file '/usr/share/postgresql/template1.bki' needed by  does not
belong to PostgreSQL 7.1.2.  Check your installation or specify the
correct path using the -L option."

Why this happened and how can i correct this and run postgresql.

Huh?  7.1.2 or 7.1.3?

Dunno.  Is /usr/share/postgresql/template1.bki missing on your machine?
If so, then you PostgreSQL installation seems corrupt.  Try reinstalling.

I've added a wishlist item to close ftp control connections when waiting

As for active vs passive mode controls, I'll accept patches but I really
don't see the issue. Fix your NAT and you should be fine. (Every decent
NAT device, including linux, supports FTP inspection).

This should be linking c++ to g++ *NOT* g++ to c++ as g++ is a deprecated name.

The problem is that it isn't just one window.  It's lots of windows.
I did merge the progress windows together, so that you only get one
download window (instead of one per file).

Installation problems

[David A. Cobb]

Aside: after a bad week of finding one of at-home's mail routers on
the banned list, I'm back [I hope].

I installed cygwin using C:\ as root.  I observed the warning but,
after asking about it here I said "proceed anyway."

The progress display shows copying to "C:\\bin", etc.  Note the
double backslant.  Directories "/bin", "/usr/..." seem to be
populated correctly.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICER IF "SETUP" checked the mount table from
HKLM & HKCU first and installed according to that.

During the install, I got multiple error messages of the form:
1) tar: error creating symlink C://usr/lib/mingwin -> mingwn32
2)      cannot find C://bin/g++.exe to link c++.exe to.

PS: THE ERROR MESSAGE BOX comes up hidden under the progress box.  I
thought the system was frozen and restarted three times before I
figured that one out.  You could maybe make it come up on top, or
change the size or location?  Tnx.

At the end of the install, error:

 Cannot open (null) for writing.

Cygwin.bat runs, and I've attached the cygcheck output; but do I
need to modify anything here?

[two minutes later . . .] AHA!
Something needs to be changed, my "HOME"=/home/superbiskit where I 
mount E:\HOME /home.  But my cygcheck output went to
E:\HOME\superbiskit\'\home\superbiskit\.

Yes.  That's why it *does* read the registry.

Setup doesn't produce these messages.  Which setup were you using?

I'll try.  Win32's not as helpful as it could be.

Setup doesn't print the message that way.  The closest message setup
has is "Can't open %s for writing: %s".  Again, which setup are you
running?

Installation problems.

I appear to be 
having problems creating my /bin directory on my machine.
 
I have installed 
full.exe.
 
Then created /tmp by 
doing mkdir -p /tmp
But when I try to 
create a /bin with mkdir -p /bin I get:
  mkdir: cannot 
create directory '/bin': No such file or directory
 
I do not have a /bin 
file existing, and if i create one in windows explorer, I can 'ls' and see it 
but I cannot access it at all.
 
Anyone ever have 
this probelm?

I downloaded it with aol and haven't had a lot of luck with using ftp.  I am
refused a connection, and still can't manage to unpack user-man_tar.bz2.
Whatever I do, it is always stored in Wordpad.

What you need to do is save that file to disk when you download it, not read it.
Right mouse on the link and choose "save as" to save it to file.  You'll
also need have installed full.exe (save that to a file, then run it - it will
install the cygwin development environment).  Two of the programs full.exe
installs are "bunzip2.exe" and "tar.exe".  You'd do something like this:

bunzip2 user-man.tar.bz2
tar xvf user-man.tar

You might want to do "tar tvf user-man.tar" before the xfv one, to see what
directories it's going to create, so that you'll untar it in the right spot.

What this does is uncompress the tar file (a compressed tar file is like a zip
file - it contains many little files within it) and unpack it so that you
end up with the correct directory structure with all the files in it.

Installation problems

[Cjfogg]

Hi,

I am very new to programming and have gotten a little confused with Cygwin-
b20.  I hate to ask a simple question, but I have downloaded user-man.tar.bz2,
stored it in Wordpad, and haven't the first clue how to read it.  I have tried
to 'cd' to it but keep getting the reply;
 
user-man.tar.bz2: Is a directory.

What am I doing wrong?  If I can't read the manual I don't have very high
hopes for my programming career!
Thanks,
Catherine

Did you download it with Netscape or MSIE ?
I suppose, these get confused by the .bz2 ending of the file and try to
store it as text file.
Try to get it with some real ftp client or right click on wherever you
saw the link and chose "download".

>

Uhm, after having downloaded this file, copy it to for example /temp and
unpack it with "bzip2 -d user-man.tar.bz2". You get a tar archive after
having done this. Untar it with "tar -xvf user-man.tar".
You then have a directory with all the man page files.

So far for the easy part - now you need to download and install groff,
ncurses, less and man ! You can get them from

ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Hirmke_Michael/B20

Don't give up - there is always a starting point and no one can know
everything when starting with something new.

Good luck !

Bye.

Installation problems

Sorry for the previous post. Problems are now fixed. I used an
"official release" (from the point of view of ours sysops) that
contains the correct b18 release, but has also buggy links....

Hi.
	I have downloaded gnu-win32 as xa* files and using copy /b to merge them
to all.tar.gz and use gunzip.exe but gunzip told me that it can't continue
because crc error but when I use WINZIP 6.2 it can extract all.tar.gz to
all.tar(about 40 Mb) next,I can use tar to extract all.tar but when I run
any program (under windowsNT 4.0) windows told me like this
		"The application failed to initialize properly(0xc0000005).Click OK to
terminate the application."
	What 's matter? because files are corrupt?if possible,I would like to
known how can I get (or buy) a cd-rom or disks of this tool(my internet
provider has very LOW speed to connect)please send answers to
u3826598@student.chula.edu. 
Thank for a lot of mail I have recieved.
