Cannot Execute urxvt after upgrade

Cannot Execute urxvt after upgrade

[K Stahl]

I've just performed my weekly update and now I cannot execute urxvt.

Using an xterm, I get the following error message:
bash: /usr/bin/urxvt: Bad address

I've tried to reinstall the packages followed by a rebaseall.  This
did not resolve the problem.

Any suggestions?

As a follow up, I'm running Cygwin on WinXP using Fluxbox as my window
manager under XWin.

urxvt depends on cygperl5_10.dll, which was removed in the upgrade to
perl 5.14.  Either urxvt needs to be rebuilt, or the old perl 5.10
libraries need to be restored for a bit longer.

Knowing that there are numerous dependencies on the perl upgrade,
could we get someone to update the urxvt package?

I couldn't find any version of urxvt on cygwin's release mirror, so, no 
packages to start from. Furthermore, for what you are looking for, isn't 
rxvt pretty much the same?

Pretty much, minus the unicode support and some other niceties mentioned
in the message you quoted above.  Of course, stepping back to rxvt puts you
in the realm of dead code.  So if bit-rot is OK with you... ;-)

It results that the package is named rxvt-unicode-X-9.07-1.tar.bz2 but 
in the end install binaries that are named urxvt:

usr/bin/urxvt-X.exe
usr/bin/urxvtc-X.exe
usr/bin/urxvtd-X.exe

and all of them were compiled on Jan 2010. The non unicode is even 
older, so probably everything is broken. I get also the "Bad address" or 
"unable to connect to the rxvt-unicode daemon: No such file or 
directory" errors.

Yes, as Eric pointed out, these packages would need to be updated or the
old perl libraries would need to be restored to make them work again.

Re: Cannot Execute urxvt after upgrade

[K Stahl]

Just attempted to compile the latest (rxvt-unicode-9.15) and ran into
issues.  As I'm not completely versed in setting up the configuration
environment in Cygwin, I'm at a loss.  Seeing as there were numerous
packages that were updated as a result of the Perl version increment,
reverting to an older version is less than an ideal solution at this
point.

Could someone contact Yaakov and get his input on the situation?

One word: mintty.

Although I appreciate the work and the robust nature of mintty, it
does not integrate into the window manager I am using.

Maybe if you describe how and why it does not integrate, a solution 
could be found for that?

I often have multiple terminals open in an X Session while using
Fluxbox as my Window Manager.  Seeing as Mintty is a windows
application, it does not utilize X and therefore does not inherit the
WM decorations and/or functionality.

$realjob has been kicking my *** for months now. But the light at the 
end of the tunnel has begun glimmering; if it doesn't turn out to be an 
oncoming train I should have time this weekend.

Awesome!  I look forward to anything you can do to resolve this issue.


In the interim, I've played around with trying to get urxvt to work
(with a fatal hiccup).

Downloaded rxvt-unicode-9.15.tar.bz2 and performed the following:
$ tar xf rxvt-unicode-9.15.tar.bz2
$ cd rxvt-unicode-9.15/
$ ./configure --enable-everything --disable-wtmp --disable-lastlog
$ make
$ make install (This fails for some reason)

From here, I performed
$ cd src && make install
$ cd doc && make install

NOTE: The default configuration installs everything into /usr/local/bin

I was able to open a terminal, but as soon as I perform "man urxvt",
the terminal dies (e.g. disappears).

This has exceeded my experience with building/installing, so I'm once
again suck.

why not download the rxvt-unicode-X-9.07-1 source
rename the rxvt-unicode-X-9.07-1.{cygport,cygwin.patch,src.patch}
to rxvt-unicode-X-9.07-2.{cygport,cygwin.patch,src.patch}
and trying

cygport  rxvt-unicode-X-9.07-2.cygport almostall

No idea how to check if X server is running or how to launch it. Isn't 
automatically launched by the shortcut placed on windows menu?

Do we really need to continue this conversation?  Chuck has said that he'll
get to an update eventually.  Why not just wait for him?
