compiled screen-3.9.8 but doesn'r run :°°(

[Patrick Ohnewein]

Please help,
I downloaded the src for screen-3.9.8.

Patched 2 lines in 2 files of it.

So it compiled, ohh I was happe ;)

But starting it, I get the following:
unofficial$ screen
Directory /tmp/uscreens/S-Patrick must have mode 700.

Now Patrick is my user name and I suppose it is some socket locking or 
stuff like that, which will be done in that dir, but I really don't 
know, I am a newbie.

Now I am able to set mode 700 to that dir, using
$ chmod 700 /tmp/uscreens/S-Patrick

but than he complains about
Directory '/tmp/uscreens' must have mode 777.

which I am not able to set, anymore. I suppose because I am in the group 
None, but I don't know how to create groups and how to add me to one.

Here the ls output:
/tmp$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   3 patrick  None            0 Apr 24 09:22 screens
drwxr-xr-x   3 patrick  None            0 Apr 24 09:44 uscreens

Even I donna know if this would fix the real problem, I just wonna run 
screen, and the only port I've found was
Glenn_s Cygwin port of Screen-3.07.06 (FAU) 25-Nov-98
which had some trouble with my prompt settings.


Would bge very glad if someone could point me to the right direction, I 
am sure there are lots of u using screen.

thx pazzo

p.s. include a direct cc to my mail adress, couse on the mailing list is 
soooo much traffic, I even didn't manage to unsubscribe (would like only 
the digests), but thats another story :)

thx will check it out.

A little critic, it's really difficult to find ported software for 
cygwin, most of the times the links are broken or old, ...
I would like to see a sort of freshmeat only with the tar.gz of ported 
software on cygwin site.

Compliments for the installer, that's really well done!

thx again

A little criticism: If the best you can do is say "most of the times the
links are broken or old" and you never provide any *specific* feedback,
then the links will probably continue to be broken or old.

If you, or anyone notices a problem don't just sigh and shake your head
sadly, or pound your fist and kick the dog.  Report the problem here
so that we can rectify the problem.

I don't know why it is so very hard for people to realize that we need
details to correct problems.  Sure, I could now start testing all of
the ported software links individually.  Why should I have to duplicate
the effort that you've already gone to, though?

This is a volunteer effort.  You can contribute by providing specific
information whether it is for the web site or for the Cygwin packages.

What's wrong with the screen port that is pointed to from www.cygwin.com?
I'm using this all the time.

Gruesse, Carsten
