With a textmode mounted root, it seems the fonts fail to load, and the diagnostic from X isn't very helpfull. I'm a newbie with this, and it was hard enought to figure out.

I recompiled the Python 2.5.1 interpreter and ran the library install using the just-built interpreter from the location it was built in. This ran perfectly fine (and happily resulted in a usable 2.5 library). The strange thing is that when I installed the same interpreter, replacing the standard one in /usr/bin, it too failed in the same way.

Uninstalling a program from Cygwin in Windows XP

order to create and manipulate fonts for Windows XP. I
would like to update the editor, but when I try the
uninstall commands cygwin does not uninstall the
program can some provide help as to how to uninstall

This is the command that was used to install the
program in Cygwin:
$ bunzip2 fontforge_cygwin-*.tar.bz2
$ tar xf fontforge_cygwin-*.tar
$ cd fontforge
$ ./doinstall
Now when I try to uninstall the program I was supposed
to use this command:
$ su

$ rm -rf /usr/local/bin/{fontforge,sfddiff} \
/usr/local/lib/{libgdraw,libgunicode,libuninameslist}*

but it does not uninstall the program. Any
suggestions as to what I need to do to uninstall this
program?

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: gnuplot-4.2.2-1
Hi
A new version of 'gnuplot' has been uploaded to a server near you.
DESCRIPTION:
Gnuplot is a command-line driven interactive function plotting utility
for UNIX, MSDOS, VMS, and many other platforms. The software is copyrighted
but freely distributed (i.e., you don't have to pay for it). It was
originally intended as graphical program which would allow scientists
and students to visualize mathematical functions and data. Gnuplot
supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers
(including many color devices, and pseudo-devices like LaTeX) and is
easily extensible to include new devices.
Gnuplot handles both curves (2 dimensions) and surfaces (3
dimensions). Surfaces can be plotted as a mesh fitting the specified
function, floating in the 3-d coordinate space, or as a contour plot
on the x-y plane. For 2-d plots, there are also many plot styles,
including lines, points, lines with points, error bars, and impulses
(crude bar graphs). Graphs may be labeled with arbitrary labels and
arrows, axes labels, a title, date and time, and a key. The interface
includes command-line editing and history on most platforms.
CYGWIN NEWS:
o Update to latest upstream release.
o Added
/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/type1!,
/usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1!,
/usr/local/share/fonts!,
/usr/share/fonts!,
to the system fontpath.
gnuplot NEWS:
=
* NEW allow extra column in 2D plots containing color information
* NEW set term latex {size XX,YY}
* FIX buffering of very long input lines
* FIX clipping of image data against plot boundary
* FIX polygon clipping bugs

Re: Uninstalling a program from Cygwin in Windows XP

know how to uninstall the program?

but it does not uninstall the program. Any
suggestions as to what I need to do to uninstall this
program?
A sufficient problem description would be fine. What happens when you
issue this command and why does it not uninstall the program?
On the other hand it really doesn't matter: the command just removes
all the fontforge files. Why don't you do it by hand? It would take
about two minutes of your precious time.

When I tried to ask the developer of the program how to remove the program he indicated that the problem was not with fontforge, but with Cygwin, so that is why I came to this user group to find out how to fix the problem. You still haven't told us what your problem is. If on the other hand all I have to do is just manually remove the program, I did not know that was possible because I was under the assumption that since I used cygwin to install the program I would need (cygwin) to uninstall the program. You did *not* use Cygwin to install the program. The Cygwin installer is Setup.exe and you did not use that. Do I just go to the directory that it is located in and delete the file and that is it. Or is there more that I would need to do? I have no idea. The snippet you showed us does that. On the other hand there is no reason why the uninstall script wouldn't work.

This is the command that was used to install the
program in Cygwin:
$ bunzip2 fontforge_cygwin-*.tar.bz2
$ tar xf fontforge_cygwin-*.tar
$ cd fontforge

Now when I try to uninstall the program I was supposed

but it does not uninstall the program. Any
suggestions as to what I need to do to uninstall this

More information is required in order to provide any help. Do you get
any errors when you issue the above commands? What actually happens
when you issue the commands? What makes you believe the removal does
not occur?

+pfaedit.exe

+Adobe-Japan1-6.cidmap
+Adobe-Japan2-0.cidmap
+Adobe-Korea1-2.cidmap
So, there seems to be a failure of 'exe magic', and part of it is because he
hasn't allowed for the cygwin library naming scheme (and the fact that dlls go
into bin, not lib). The working version of the command should therefore be:
$ rm -rf /usr/local/bin/{fontforge.exe,fontimage,sfddiff,pfaedit.exe} \

So you just need to write a batch script which will load bash and tell it to run your script with those arguments. As an example, you can edit your cygwin.bat, and change this line: bash --login -i to this: bash -i -e /script/you/want/to/run.bash %* And that will do what you want. Keep in mind that the file names will be in the Windows path format, so you will probably want to use a wrapper script that applies cygpath to them before passing them on to something else.

Whither /dev/null ?
Hello, I am writing bash scripts that are required to run unchanged (as much as possible) on Cygwin and Linux. A (small) detail I am having problems with is the issue of redirecting output to the null device, or bit-bucket. If I write the following ls nul It works as expected under Cygwin, however under Linux I must write ls /dev/null I searched and found discussions on the Cygwin mailing list that seemed to say that Cygwin supported (supports?) the /dev/null device, but I checked my installation and this pseudo-device didn't seem to exist on my system. The '/dev' folder was missing. I discovered that if I created the folder '/dev', afterwards the /dev/null device existed, even if it does not appear as an actual file under /dev I installed cygwin only a few weeks ago using the http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe method, and it was missing the /dev folder. I compared this to the other machines around me which are running a version of Cygwin which is about two years old, same results: /dev is missing, but creating it unleashes the /dev/null pseudo-device. I'm wondering what is the best way to deal with this? I'd like the scripts to work straight out of the box and not have to make the users create their own /dev and creating it for them would be tedious because every script would have to check for this...

Basically, you need to find the files listed in the 'rm' command:
$ rm -rf /usr/local/bin/{fontforge,sfddiff} \
/usr/local/lib/{libgdraw,libgunicode,libuninameslist}* \
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/fontforge.pc \
/usr/local/man/man1/{fontforge,sfddiff}.1 \
/usr/local/share/doc/fontforge \
/usr/local/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/FontForge.mo
and delete them. That's all the command does.
Hmm. So, after the rm command, we still have:
/usr/local/bin:
+cyguninameslist-0.dll
+cyguninameslist-fr-0.dll
+fontforge.exe
+fontimage
+pfaedit.exe
/usr/local/man/man1:
+fontimage.1
/usr/local/share:
+fontforge
+/usr/local/share/fontforge:

+Adobe-GB1-4.cidmap
+Adobe-Identity-0.cidmap
+Adobe-Japan1-6.cidmap
+Adobe-Japan2-0.cidmap
+Adobe-Korea1-2.cidmap
So, there seems to be a failure of 'exe magic', and part of it is because he
hasn't allowed for the cygwin library naming scheme (and the fact that dlls go
into bin, not lib). The working version of the command should therefore be:
$ rm -rf /usr/local/bin/{fontforge.exe,fontimage,sfddiff,pfaedit.exe} \
/usr/local/bin/cyguninameslist* \
/usr/local/lib/{libgdraw,libgunicode,libuninameslist}* \
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/fontforge.pc \
/usr/local/man/man1/{fontforge,fontimage,sfddiff}.1 \
/usr/local/share/doc/fontforge \
/usr/local/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/FontForge.mo \
/usr/local/share/fontforge
You could pass it on to the fontforge guy if you liked.
cheers,

Updated: gnuplot-4.2.2-1
Hi
A new version of 'gnuplot' has been uploaded to a server near you.
DESCRIPTION:
Gnuplot is a command-line driven interactive function plotting utility
for UNIX, MSDOS, VMS, and many other platforms. The software is copyrighted
but freely distributed (i.e., you don't have to pay for it). It was
originally intended as graphical program which would allow scientists
and students to visualize mathematical functions and data. Gnuplot
supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers
(including many color devices, and pseudo-devices like LaTeX) and is
easily extensible to include new devices.
Gnuplot handles both curves (2 dimensions) and surfaces (3
dimensions). Surfaces can be plotted as a mesh fitting the specified
function, floating in the 3-d coordinate space, or as a contour plot
on the x-y plane. For 2-d plots, there are also many plot styles,
including lines, points, lines with points, error bars, and impulses
(crude bar graphs). Graphs may be labeled with arbitrary labels and
arrows, axes labels, a title, date and time, and a key. The interface
includes command-line editing and history on most platforms.
