Re: 1.7.1-1 Install freeze of Cygwin post install.sh
I've always installed to the default locations, and I removed everything from the default C:\cygwin\ folder so I would have a clean install. I also cleaned the registry of everything I could find and used a registry cleaner tool (Advanced System Care One) to try and get everything I couldn't find. Sorry for the minimal information. I have no idea of what is significant and what is not. I've attached the cygcheck.out file as you suggested. I ran the command directly from the c:\cygwin\bin\ directory. I looked over the file for anything obvious and didn't see much. I did notice that the system says I have ZoneAlarm as a personal fire wall; but I don't and never have used ZoneAlarm. I have used McAfee products and currently use their Security Center. There is a warning about multiple cygwin1.dlls in my path. I've run a windows search (including system and hidden folders) against the whole C:\ drive and found C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll was the only result returned. I also did a search from C:\ (including hidden and system folders) looking for cygwin There were some files in C:\Tools\Installed with names like ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.gtlib.gatech.edu%2fpub%2fcygwin%2f and I found a folder, C:\Tools\Installed\ftp%3a%2f%2fftp.gtlib.gatech.edu%2fpub%2fcygwin%2f\release\ cygwin, that contains the file cygwin-1.7.1-1.tar.bz2. I assume this is a temporary location used while an installation is in progress. Please let me know if you see something more that I'm missing. I don't see anything that would explain the *** fatal error - couldn't allocate heap, error, or the other errors, from the log file. Sincerely, Brian S. Wilson === Home: (678) 376-9258 Cell: (678) 232-9357 wil...@ds.net === Just as a wild guess, given the minimal information above, and given the handful of other problems reported with this - you may have two versions of Cygwin installed on your system. One would be installed in a standard location and another could be in windows\system32 or in a third-party location like cwrsync or in some other cygwin repackager. See: http://cygwin.com/problems.html . Run the cygcheck command suggested there and inspect the output for clues. Also look in your windows directory and along your PATH for other copies of cygwin1.dll and any other Cygwin DLLs. cgf -- 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 --- End of Original Message --- -- 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
Re: 1.7.1-1 Install freeze of Cygwin post install.sh
2009/12/28 Brian Wilson: I have no choice but to cancel the install and retry; but it never completes and always fails at the same point. Does anyone know what this means and how to fix the problem? If it's something stupid I've done; please point out the issue. I'm experiencing exactly the same problem on my laptop at work: http://www.mail-archive.com/cygwin@cygwin.com/msg103719.html As mentioned in that thread, I disabled everything that I could think of as BLODA but it still does not work. At home my pc upgraded without any problem. There is only one cygwin1.dll on my system and when I run cygcheck from a ash from a command prompt I get the same couldn't allocate heap error.

Re: 1.7.1-1 Install freeze of Cygwin post install.sh
Okay, here is the cygcheck.out file I forgot to attach in my earlier email. While I was able to get the two laptop machines to update to 1.7 earlier today, I'm still not able to get my desktop system at home to upgrade. I'm still getting the Couldn't allocate heap error message. Sincerely, Brian S.

And you want to encourage rather than discourage people from helping you. These look like problems at least: Found: C:\WINDOWS\system32\find.exe Found: find.exe Warning: C:\WINDOWS\system32\find.exe hides find.exe Found: C:\WINDOWS\grep.exe Found: grep.exe Warning: C:\WINDOWS\grep.exe hides grep.exe Found: C:\WINDOWS\sed.exe Found: sed.exe Warning: C:\WINDOWS\sed.exe hides sed.exe I'd recommend fixing this so that at the very least the Cygwin versions of these utilities is found first by 'setup.exe'. The easiest ways to make this happen is to either delete the versions in system32 or move them somewhere that isn't in the default path. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.

1.7.1-1 Install freeze of Cygwin post install.sh
I'm running a Dell XPS (single core 3GHz processor) with WinXP SP3 with latest patches. My system has 4GB memory installed and 20GB free disk space available. I had 1.5 installed and working well. I tried to upgrade to 1.7 and received many errors and could not complete the installation because the installation appeared to stop working. I rebooted several times and retried the update each time with no success. I manually removed all cygwin files and cleaned the registry. I tried downloading the setup and reinstalling the base 1.7 release. Everything goes find until I get to the /etc/postinstall/000-cygwin- post-install.sh step and the progress bars stop showing any progress (i.e. appear to stop working). I went to c:\cygwin\var\log\setup.log.postinstallXa01348 and looked at this file. It contains: 5 [main] bash 508 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x6D, top 0x73, reserve_size 389120, allocsize 393216, page_const 4096 5 [main] bash 2216 child_info::sync: wait failed, pid 508, Win32 error 0 909 [main] bash 2216 fork: child -1 - died waiting for longjmp before initialization, retry 0, exit code 0x100, errno 11 I have no choice but to cancel the install and retry; but it never completes and always fails at the same point.
