Thank you for getting back so rapidly. Yes, fontconfig is installed (and therefore I assume latest version). There is a 03/02/2012 09:11 178,702 /bin/cygfontconfig-1.dll file There is also a /etc/postinstall/fontconfig.sh.done file. (a) Incidentally I originally installed texlive-collection over an obsolete tetex, which installation (a) took forever and (b) tailed off at the end with a fontconfig installation error that I reported at http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-03/msg00226.html. (b) So I then did what always seems to me to be the strategy of last resort: re-install brand new Cygwin from the ground up. Evidently successful - no error messages; presence of fontconfig.sh.done as stated; and until today's update of texlive-collection-*-20120312-1, no problems! (c) Just this minute I tried setup.exe again. Nothing new to install in the last 8 hours but setup still took 10 (no: nearer 20) minutes labouring over postinstall scripts (presumably taking a second crack at those it failed with previously? ... lacking the *.sh.done files?) and ended with a *similar but different* error announcement Previously (8 hours ago): Package: texlive-collection-basic texlive-collection-basic.sh exit code 146 Package: texlive-collection-fontsrecommended texlive-collection-fontsrecommended.sh exit code 146 Package: texlive-collection-fontsextra texlive-collection-fontsextra.sh exit code 146 Package: texlive-collection-pictures texlive-collection-pictures.sh exit code 146 Package: texlive-collection-latexextra texlive-collection-latexextra.sh exit code 146 Package: texlive-collection-science texlive-collection-science.sh exit code 146 Now: Package: Unknown package texlive-collection-basic.sh exit code 146 texlive-collection-fontsextra.sh exit code 146 texlive-collection-fontsrecommended.sh exit code 146 texlive-collection-latexextra.sh exit code 146 texlive-collection-pictures.sh exit code 146 texlive-collection-science.sh exit code 146 Fergus -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
