Re: 1.5.19: Solution: cannot create temp file for here document: Permission denied
The solution to my variant of this problem ended up being pretty simple. I was running the Norton utility that guards the trash bin (Norton Protected Trash Bin). For this use, it's toxic. The solution was to add the entire cygwin directory to the exclusion list (in the trash bin's Properties dialog). It would look something like: "-c:\cygwin\**". Keeping Norton's hands off these files makes cygwin not mess up. Charming. Does this help you?

I encountered the same problem as mentioned in this thread: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-07/msg00732.html To sum up the issue: Upon ssh login I received the following error message: -bash: cannot create temp file for here document: Permission denied One thing I noticed was that looking at the permissions for the tmp folder under the cygwin directory, the permissions for [SERVER]\Users were marked as "Special Permissions" rather than the usual set of permissions (e.g., Full Control, Modify, etc.). Even though the user seemed to have all of the necessary permissions when clicking the Advanced button, I chose to override these permission by clicking the "Modify" checkbox (and additionally all of the permissions that get auto-selected when you choose "Modify") and the error message went away. One particular detail about our installation that might be involved in this problem: The original installer of cygwin on this particular machine did not give [SERVER]\Users "Modify" permission on the cygwin directory. We only added them after the install. It's possible that adding these permission to the cygwin directory after the install doesn't cascade them in the same way as having them there before install does. I hope this helps, Jonathan Gordon. --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude EVA] -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Re: Very basic version command
Thanks, Igor -- I have not yet been able to make cygcheck work, but I did find out about the pkg-config command. This command uses the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to find the library information for a particular library. That path identifies a directory full of .po files. There is a .po file for each library. So, if you know the library name, the pkg-config command would be something like pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 ... and out comes all of the cool metadata in command line format all ready to feed into g++. And then the trick is to track down the precise name for the library of interest. I did that by scanning for all of the .po files, and then figuring out the name of the library I was really interested in. In my case, for librsvg, it is librsvg-2.0. So, here's what I did and what I got: $ pkg-config --cflags librsvg-2.0 -I/usr/local/include/librsvg-2 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 OK OK ... so as far as getting the version, I guess that the version is encoded in the name, which I found by scanning the .po files. Anything is easy once we already know the answer. Woof. I'm guessing that cygcheck couldn't work for librsvg because it's not a cygwin library and not in the cygwin registry ... a naive guess ... maybe it's right?? Thanks.

It's easy to find out the version of an official Cygwin package that supplies a given library. If you know the name of the package (say, "libfoo"), simply run "cygcheck -cd libfoo". If you don't know the package that supplies it, but know the name of the library (say, /usr/lib/libfoo.a), run "cygcheck -f /usr/lib/libfoo.a" -- it will tell you both the package and the version. > I'm trying to find out what version of the librsvg library I'm using. AFAICS, there is no librsvg in the cygwin distribution. If it was a typo, the above recipe should work for the actual library name. If you actually do have a librsvg on your machine, I don't know of a general way to do what you want.

The problem with open source is that unless someone else can reproduce your problem, and has an interest in providing a fix, it tends not to happen. On the other hand, the advantage with open source is that anyone can take an interest, look at the source code, and provide a fix, even you. > > BTW ... thanks for sticking this far with me ...

Well, the setup of running NT and FAT is not very common, and most cygwin developers don't do that; typically, the experience with FAT is how to make Win98 at least run cygwin. > Converting FAT32 to NTFS did not solve the problem.

That is bizarre, but you are probably right that it has to do with the fact that you are on an NT machine but with a FAT file system.

FAT has very little in its favor - it has no file permissions to speak of, can't do hard links, and in general is not as powerful as NTFS.

No, cygwin uses Windows notions of permissions, which are keyed to Windows SID, and maps that to POSIX permissions. If Windows can't report the correct permissions (and remember, FAT drives don't store full permissions like NTFS does), then cygwin can't improve the situation. As to editing your passwd file, as long as you leave SIDs alone, you should be able to edit user name, group id, and preferred shell without any adverse effects.

Re: cannot create temp file for here document
Hi, Dave -- Pretty simple and interesting. It seems like "sort" is failing ... as if there's problems with the temp directory (???). Here's what it looks to me: A) The TEMP and TMP environment variables are both /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/BARRYD~1/LOCALS~1/Temp B) The !C environment variable (which I suppose must be the same as /cygdrive/c) is C:\Cygwin\bin If that's all true, then the temp directory it must be trying to use would be C:\Cygwin\bin\DOCUME~1/BARRYD~1/LOCALS~1/Temp ... which does not exist So, I added DOCUME~1/BARRYD~1/LOCALS~1/Temp under C:\Cygwin\bin ... but that didn't seem to help.

cannot create temp file for here document
Hi -- I have a clean install of Cygwin in C:\ on my Win2K system. The thing seems OK except for an error issued immediately upon startup: "bash: cannot create temp file for here document: No such file or directory" I'm not sure what it's about, but I'm pretty sure it's going to cause trouble. If I look in my C:\cygwin\home\bdemchak directory, I see a .bash_history file and three others: .inputrc, .bashrc, and .bash_profile ... seems healthy to me, but I'm a newbie.
