I just installed latest version of cygwin on windows/xp on new machine
copied an existing profile from another machine but with problems
set -o vi : the -i option is not accepted
whenever changing PS1, the cursor is positioned to the left and over writing
the prompt
although from command line all commands are accepted : set -o vi no problem
same for PS1 
any idea about this ?
Thanks for all help/update
Regards, Guy przytula

I think your "profile" (~/.profile?) has DOS line endings.  Execute
d2u on that file and see if that fixes the problem.

HTH,

Why are you directly downloading from the mirror?  The point of setup.exe
is to do the downloading for you, so that you don't directly have to grab
stuff from the mirrors and risk messing up the installation yourself.

Your attachment was not given a text MIME format, making it harder to read.

Not necessarily a bug, but you are inviting problems by putting . ahead of
normal directories.  It is wiser to put . last, if you want it in your PATH.

>         \C:\WINDOWS\system32

Hmm, that PATH entry looks suspicious.  Maybe it is the cause of your
problems.

Looks like you have a normal download...

with bash already installed.  Therefore, I don't know that I follow your
complaint about bash not being available.

Follow the directions, and attach the output of 'cygcheck -svr' as a text
attachment, so we can see why your installation appears to be broken.
Also, try rerunning setup.exe, and make sure it picks up everything you
need.  Bash should be an automatic part of the base install.

you have to install bash after installing cygwin.

Bash

[Jam One]

I have downloaded the recent copy of cygwin and there
is no "bash.exe" in the cygwin/bin directory, yet the
cygwin.bat file points to the bash command.

I have been using cygwin for many years now and this
is the first time I have encountered this problem. If
bash is no longer supplied with cygwin, which shell
should we use?

In my cygwin/bin directory there is no csh.exe, only a
csh.exe.lnk, which goes to nowhere.

I try to run "sh.exe" and I get the following: "The
application has failed to start because
cygreadline6.dll was not found."

What is your recommendation?

Cheers

setup.exe creates cygwin.bat, and fills it in with the selected paths. 
It doesn't matter where cygwin is installed.

The OP should try running cygwin.bat from a command prompt and look for
errors.  Most likely it's one of those "home directory with a space in
it" type of problems.

Look into cygwin.bat, it assumes that you installed Cywgin in drive C: and
directory \cygwin .  If that is not the case it will not work.

I installed CYGWIN and after double clicking the shortcut icon
(linking to cygwin.bat),
the window appears for one second and immediately disappeared. I
checked the package I downloaed and found bash is installed.
How to solve the problem?
Thanks a lot!
