Greetings, Vikas,
Any suggestions anyone?
I would really like to have completion in my zsh shells. Incidentally
I installed from source in cygwin and still have the same issue. So I
don't believe it is a package issue. I think it may be a bigger issue
with my cygwin environment.
I think you're going to have to give me some examples of what completion
you are attempting. I still can't make this fail no matter what I try.
Your .zcompdump looks fine to me and if I strip my config to be just
your example (uncommented, of course) I can't make it fail.
Regards,
Vikas

The ultimate cause of this particular problem was permissions on the
"functions" directories not being to zsh's liking (ie: having write
permission for group or other). This was a build error on my part for
4.3.11-1, which was corrected in 4.3.11-2.
(Make sure you have installed 4.3.11-2, btw :-)
I just installed this cygwin installation today and I think 4.3.11-2
was release in early January so I believe I do have the latest
version.
With the permissions wrong, compinit fails to load any of the completion
functions and ends up creating a very, very abbreviated .zcompdump file
(less than 1k in size, versus > 30k size).
In my case, the size of zcompdump was 32KB (I had forgotten to mention
it the first time around). I have attached the zcompdump file so that
you can see if this is correct or not.
You can tell this by looking at the .zcompdump and if it things like
_comps() are mostly empty, then you are hitting the problem.
Verify that you .zcompdump has move that a few functions in it and verify
the permissions on all directories under /usr/share/zsh/4.3.11 are 755
(rwxr-xr-x) and that all files under those directories are 644
(rw-r--r--).
I rechecked the permissions on the directories and they were correct.
I have also attached the smallest version of my zshrc which still has
a problem - basically this is just "autoload -U compinit && compinit".
I installed version 4.3.10 (with the Cygwin installer and have the
same problem). Let me know if any more info will help.
Regards,
Vikas
