I also observed this, even with UAC (User Account Control) deactivated. Windows explorer reports that some files are read-only. With Explorer's GUI, one can un-check the read-only property and tell Explorer to set this for all child folders and files, but after this they were still read-only. Very strange.

I've had problems before with tetex files having no group ownership after installing as one user but running as another: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-03/msg00454.html Is it possible that the same thing is happening as a result of running setup.exe as an admin user under vista but running cygwin itself as the ordinary limited user? cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

That's one thing that can cause it. Another cause is interference from system-call-hooking software such as anti-virus and firewalls. What the error message is trying to tell you is that during the fork operation, it has been unable to duplicate an area of memory from the parent process into the child process. Since it's a requirement that fork() create child processes identically laid out to their parents, this is a fatal situation. > I checked there is no such problem now. Good.

The default value of shell-explicit-shell-file-name in emacs is /bin/sh, not /usr/bin/bash with the result that aliases do not work (because even if HOME is defined correctly .bashrc is not run). Of course, this is a trivial customization, but maybe this value is surprising for people who might not know to look at it. Thanks again all!

Looking through /var/log/setup.log.full, I found that the tetex post-install script (/etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh) was generating a lot of non-fatal errors regarding unwritable directories (/usr/share/texmf, /var/cache/fonts). ls and stat reported that the directories are indeed read-only; however, I was successfully able to touch a new file in each. Such behavior seems identical to the read-only DOS directory attribute problem referenced in: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-10/msg00606.html I think that the fix for the read-only attribute will correct the problem with the tetex install (or at least my problem). As a short term solution, I edited several script files called by post-texmf.sh to remove directory writability tests. I also removed a couple of chmod commands that copied directory permissions to files (thereby making them read-only). I then deleted files '/var/cache/fonts/ls-R', '/var/lib/texmf/ls-R', & '/usr/share/texmf/ls-R' and reran post-texmf.sh (actually post-texmf.sh.done). I suspect that deleting the 'ls-R' files is not necessary. Below is diff's output of changes to the tetex-bin script files: diff ./old/fmtutil /bin/fmtutil 512d511 < test -w "$destdir" || abort "format directory \`$destdir' is not writable" diff ./old/mktexlsr /bin/mktexlsr 106d105 < test -w "$db_dir" || { echo "$progname: $db_dir: directory not writable.
