So straight out of the archive, we have a PREFIX/usr directory which contains a few other items including a share/ directory. If you now start Cygwin the output of /bin/mount will show /usr/bin and /usr/lib are automounted. That is not true for /usr/share. This causes the terminal interface to be broken because /usr/share/terminfo cannot be found. If I then 'mount `cygpath -m /` /usr' the terminal interface finds /usr/share/terminfo and all is fine and works well. It is true that I am not using setup-${arch}.exe but that shouldn't matter as long as I have the dependencies resolved. -- cyg Simple -- 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
