I'm a new user and just recently tried to install
cygwin 1.7.5, after installing JAVA NetBeans.
I wanted to install the C++ packages along with
Python. Below is a sample of what occurred. copied
from
the output of... cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out
-----------------------------
2010/08/08 06:44:15 running:
D:\Cplus\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
/etc/postinstall/gcc4-core.sh
2010/08/08 06:44:19 abnormal exit: exit code=126
2010/08/08 06:48:34 running:
D:\Cplus\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
/etc/postinstall/gtk2.0.sh
2010/08/08 06:48:44 abnormal exit: exit code=127
2010/08/08 07:11:53 running:
D:\Cplus\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
/etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh
2010/08/08 07:40:39 can't run
/etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh: No such file
2010/08/08 07:41:00 running:
D:\Cplus\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
/etc/postinstall/gcc4-core.sh
2010/08/08 07:41:03 abnormal exit: exit code=126
2010/08/08 07:41:03 running:

/etc/postinstall/gtk2.0.sh
2010/08/08 07:41:12 abnormal exit: exit code=127

2010/08/08 08:25:10 note: Installation Complete
2010/08/08 08:25:10 Ending cygwin install
-----------------------------
I had uninstalled the total cygwin package by
deleting all the directories made for this software,
because cygwin did not show in the list of installed
programs
in the "Control Panel" utility "Programs & Features"
in Windows 7 OS. After the deletions, only one
directory and file were unable to be deleted,
the file named " nul " in the directory " dev ". A
popup window notified me of the problem but was not
specific.
After much brainstorming, I booted up into a LINUX
environment, located the /my Cplus dir/dev/nul
directory
and file. Using the file manager, I was able to
delete the items.
I have read & browsed much of the documentation, at
the moment, that's possible and tried to be sure
this issue hasn't been covered.
I believe that is the case. I'm a retired NASA
contractor. UNIX System Administrator for Real-Time
Systems being one of my task, I hope
this has given me enough knowledge to know when I
need further assistance.
I tried to subscribe to the cygwin.com mailing list.
But the email returned with an unknown address
error. I have recheck this address
cygwin-subscribe@cygwin.com and still returns a
failure notice.
Thank You for your time for reading this and any
assistance you may offer.
