Re: environment variables in ssh non-interactive shell
I'm trying to use environment variables to pilot a windows system
through cygwin+ssh. Things work nicely with an interactive shell, but
mess up with a non-interactive shell because my environment variables
aren't set.
-snip-
Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?
I'd suggest a simple approach like testing to see if there is a terminal
attached then source in the .bashrc or other environment setting files. Try
something like this:
[[ ! -t 1 ]] [[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] . ~/.bashrc
If there is no terminal attached to the session, and there is a .bashrc file
in ${HOME}, source the file into the current environment. You may want to do
something similar for the /etc/profile or ~/.profile files in which case I
would use a regular if styled statement. Make sure ${HOME} is set
(obviously) or explicitly set the value if it is not set in the script.
Carefully check the file permissions to make sure everything has the correct
read, write, and execute permissions (i.e. You don't want to execute a file
that just anyone can write into) or you may get a nasty surprise.
if [[ ! -t 1 ]]
then
echo -e \n\tNo interactive terminal found for this session.\n\tSetting
the environment.\n
[[ ${HOME} = ]] HOME=/usr/usr_dir/...
if [[ -f /etc/profile ]]
then
. /etc/profile
fi
if [[ -f ${HOME}/.profile ]]
then
. ${HOME}/.profile

if [[ -f ${HOME}/.bashrc ]]
then
. ${HOME}/.bashrc

Re: Command line arguments
% ${1}, ${2}, etc. Also, you may want to read up on the getopts
command as a % way to process command line arguments. % Technically,
the {}'s are not needed. You can access them with $1, $2, ... %
/path/to/$1.save/dir but not /path/to/$1save/dir you'd need the
{} % (i.e. /path/to/${1}save/dir because otherwise the shell would
be % looking for 1save as an env variable name.
... except that environment variables cannot begin with numbers :-)
True, but that won't keep the system from trying to interpret the string as
a variable and erroring out on something a novice might easily write.
I got in the habbit of always using the {} (even if they aren't absolutely
necessary) to avoid such issues on general principal. It can also help keep
things straight if you want to do something like the following line in a
script 'VAR=${VAR}${VAR:+, }${VAR2}' in a loop to create a comma-space
separated string. The first time through the loop, VAR is NULL and won't
add anything to the string so only VAR2's value is assigned to VAR. The
next time through VAR is defined and will have ${VAR}, ${VAR2} assigned
back to VAR. It's faster and cleaner than using an IF statement to do the
same task.

Re: Command line arguments
If you have a script (e.g. foo.sh) and you wish to pass arguments to the

number of arguments will be correct and you will be able to access them as
${1}, ${2}, etc. Also, you may want to read up on the getopts command as a
way to process command line arguments.

In cygwin, is it possible to pass arguments to a shell script file?
I have installed the latest cygwin with default packages. I found
that argument zero ($0) is correct. However, the number of arguments
always returns zero
($#= 0) and $1, $2... are all null even though I did pass arguments.

Re: ssh tunneling and keys - how to...
You have your local computer connected to a second computer and want to go fro the second machine to a third machine (if I understand this). The connection from the local machine to the second machine works; but the connection from the second to the third does not work. You need to set up an ssh key from the second server to the third server. Generate the public/private key on the second server and move the public key to the third server's .ssh directory (and check the directory and file permissions are correct). You can't set up keys for all machines from the local machine only. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Brian S. Wilson -- Original Message --- I need to ssh to a server and from there jump to another server. I created a public key and gave it to the administrator to install it on their side.

Can I do this with CygWin or should I use something different? I've been told that I need to do something else on CygWin so this carry on the public key... Is this the case?

Fw: Re: Need help creating a script that is ran from a batch file.
Hi Michael The Cygwin general group is probably not the best place to get help with scripting. Places like LinkedIn.com's discussion boards would be a better place for tutoring. That said, there's nothing special about a script versus the commands you type in online. Take the command you would normally run put them into a file with a editor such as VI, or Emacs (if you absolutely must), and give the file execute permissions. Congratulations you've just written your first script. For use of things like variables and other options, I suggest you find a good book on either bash shell, or I like the book the Korn shell command and programming language by Korn and Bolsky [ISBN 0-13- 516972-0]. Much of what you can do in Korn shell can also be done in the bash shell (from a scripting perspective). Sincerely, Brian S. Wilson I know very little about creating a script under cygwin. I have a particular tack that doesn't change and I'm running it manually. I'm thinking that since it doesn't change that it could be automated. As you can see below I'm compiling three programs and the last program is my executable. The first time I setup the cygwin environment it doesn't need to 'make clean'. I'm not sure if it hurts to run 'make clean' if it doesn't need to. Maybe a check in place would be prudent if it shouldn't be running 'make clean if it doesn't need to? Here are the commands I run from within cygwin: Open the Cygwin terminal cd /cygdrive/e/development/cygwin/mysql-5.5.25a/ make clean perl cmake/configure.pl make make mysqlclient make install cd /cygdrive/e/development/cygwin/postgresql-9.1.4/ make clean ./configure make make install cd /cygdrive/e/development/cygwin/barnyard2/ make clean ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-mysql --with-postgresql make make install When it completesw the process I need it to create a folder and copy all the prudent files and folder.

RE: Promote sqlite 3.7.13-1 from test status?
Sometimes I don't understand the antagonism towards interop with native Windows programs that don't do anything unusual and do things by the (Windows) book. It seems like it defeats the point of the project if that goes too far. What's wrong with being pragmatic sometimes? There is nothing wrong with running native windoze programs under Cygwin, but running Windoze programs is not the purpose of Cygwin/Posix environment; that is the purpose of Windoze. When the Windoze programs don't work and play well in the Posix environment; it's to bad they violate Posix's environment but no reason why Cygwin should abandon its purpose just so a couple of rude people won't have to do the difficult work of porting a package. If SQLite has a *inux version available, that should use the proper Poxix locking anyway.

Re: Promote sqlite 3.7.13-1 from test status?
This recent wish for SQLite on Cygwin to act more Unix-like is the first such request I've received, and I don't remember it being an issue with the previous maintainer, either. Maybe the reason is because subversion didn't use SQLite before? That's mere happenstance. There's nothing special about Subversion in this regard. It could have happened with any other pair of SQLite based programs. The fact that it hasn't until now means the DITCW principle isn't buying us much in this case. Understand Corinna, I see your point, and Achim's. Remember that I accepted Achim's patch and released 3.7.12.1-1 including it. Making Cygwin SQLite behave in a POSIXy way feels right. But, given that the new locking behavior causes actual people actual problems, purity alone isn't looking like such a good reason to keep the new behavior. If we discard purity as a reason to do this, all we're left with is the actual problem brought up by one person (Achim) in N years. We can't solve that problem without causing problems for many others. This behaviour breaks concurrency with other Cygwin executables using POSIX calls for file locking. I agree, in principle, the 3.7.3/13-1 locking behavior is Wrong (tm). Advisory locking only works when all players cooperate. We can't assume that on Windows, unless we set up an insular Cygwin ghetto. So, are you saying that Cygwin should use mandatory file locking? In a situation like this, you have three choices: 1. Use mandatory locking in the Cygwin program. Ugly, but useful work gets done. 2. Tell all users of the Cygwin program to stop using the native Windows program or switch to a Cygwin alternative. This is a bad choice as a rule, since it tells the world Cygwin doesn't play well with others. It's worse in this case due to N years of the Cygwin program playing well with the Windows program. Additionally, there is no GUI Subversion client in the Cygwin package repo. Corina is correct, Cygwin is supposed to be a Posix compliant environment so the SQLite package should follow the Posix standard as the default behavior. If you want to use Windoze tools, why are you using Cygwin? If you really must, why not set up Apache under Cygwin and access the Cygwin Subversion repository through the defined http server interface and the issue of file locking becomes moot. Cygwin is not a Windoze/Posix program compatability matching system; it is a Posix environment on the Windoze platform. There is no intention to have Windoze only application work directly to Cygwin applications (nor is there an intention to prevent this either). As a worst case scenario, why can't the direct SVN access locking behavior be determined by setting an environment variable. If users want it to work with Windoze programs (i.e. in a non-posix way), have them set an environment variable for hard locks; other wise, let the rest of us who want a Posix experience use the advisory locks. If this solution isn't acceptable, Cygwin Subversion should use a different DB and drop SQLite. Sincerely, Brian S.

Re: RCS file corruption.
I suspect this happens because sometimes I edit the files on my Linux box and sometimes on my Windows box. If I remember correctly, RCS (and the earlier SCCS systems) were designed to work with source code (i.e. text files). They determined file changes based on lines added or deletes and had a fixed length internal buffer used to read each line. From what I've read in this discussion, I think the issue is that the '^M' characters may not be seen by RCS as an EOL. If that is the case, RCS will read the whole file as a single line and large files (65KB) may not be properly handled. Use dos2unix and unix2dos to convert the files and you will probably eliminate the issue. My $0.02 Brian S.

Re: 1.7.11-1 Update returns non-zero exit codes for coreutils
While I can run the Cygwin terminal window, there appears to be a very serious issue as I can't run commands like cd, ls, or cygcheck either. Can you tell us what this means? How did you determine that you can't run these commands? I opened the cygwin terminal and got the usual shell prompt. I entered the cd or ls commands and got a command not found error. I echoed $PATH and saw that the path didn't look correct (which is why I assume the commands couldn't be found). I would have expected to see /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin in the path somewhere. I didn't try giving the full path to these commands to see if the commands would have worked (I assume they would, but will confirm tonight). I opened an Explorer session and went to C:\cygwin\bin and I could see the ls.exe and cygcheck.exe files were present so I presumed the issue was with the $PATH not being set correctly. I can't run cygcheck or I would try to give the output as an attachment. So you're saying c:\cygwin\bin\cygcheck.exe doesn't run from cmd.exe? True for c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe too? What feedback do you get? I got the command not found error when I tried to run cygcheck from the shell. Stupidly, I didn't try with the full path to the file in the shell. I did open a windoz cmd window and ran the cygcheck command. There were errors (which I didn't bother to record of course). I will repeat this attempt and send the results this evening.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: rebase-4.1.0-1
I hope it doesn't leave the system in an unusable state if some DLL is still in use. I may be wrong but I'm nearly certain that has been Corinna's goal from the start. She is sometimes just a little too M. A lot of her seemingly tireless efforts in getting Cygwin working are actually very subtle attempts to leave systems inoperational. LOL Yes, I'm sure she's diabolical that way (I guess M stands for methodical or meticulous). It must be the long nights spent slaving over Cygwin code has warped her thinking into providing helpful things like the automatic rebaseall feature (thank you Corina, your work has not been unappreciated) which has long been needed. :) :) :) Sincerely, Brian S.

Re: Cygwin 1.7.9 Apache2 startup question issue.
I would like to create a bug report on the cygrunsrv command. I've tried everything I can think of, and written to others who have web sites about using Cygwin and Apache, and no one was able to get Apache to run under another, secure, account from the administrative account with a command like the following. $ cygrunsrv -I CYGWIN apache2 --path /usr/sbin/httpd2 --args -DNO_DETACH -k install --dep cygserver --user nobody --passwd password --shutdown --type auto --env CYGWIN=server --desc Cygwin Apache2 service for the HTTPD2 daemons. If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know what it is, or point me to documentation where I can figure this out. If someone knows how to get this working in a secured account, I would be very interested in learning how to do this. Sincerely, Brian S.

Re: Cygwin 1.7.9 Apache2 startup question issue.
Hello Andrey: I'm having a bit of trouble with starting the Cygwin Apache2 package on my Windows XP (SP3) system. Why don't you use native Windows Apache HTTPD server? Because I'd like to use a more *nix like environment than Windows. ...Why does the apachectl2 help message display the usage for httpd2; Because the syntax is exactly the same. Yet they aren't the same command (the httpd and apachectl2 commands have different file sizes) so the help message displayed isn't for correct command. Perhaps some of these options don't work, or don't work the way they are defined or explained. Perhaps there are other options that aren't included in this help message. I can't trust the information provided as it isn't for the correct command. and why is there no definition for the -k option? There is: [-k start|restart|graceful|graceful-stop|stop] There's no explanation, however, but honestly. it's all pretty self-explanatory. The information provided is a usage statement (for the wrong command), not a definition or explanation. What exactly is the difference between saying apachectl2 start (which works well) and apachectl2 -k start? Exactly what does -k do? What I really need is some help with the cygrunsrv command to start the apache2 running as a service. If anyone knows what is wrong with the command I've used, or why the service dies without starting any httpd2 daemons, your help would be greatly appreciated. Do I need to add '-e CYGWIN=service' (which is set as a System Variable already)? I'm trying to document the process of getting Apache2 up and running correctly so I can contribute something back to this community, but this one has got me stumped (so far). $ cygrunsrv -I CYGWIN apache2 --path /usr/sbin/apachectl2 --args -D NO_DETACH -k start --dep cygserver --user nobody --shutdown Sorry for my terrible english...

Cygwin 1.7.9 Apache2 startup question issue.
I'm having a bit of trouble with starting the Cygwin Apache2 package on my Windows XP (SP3) system. If this is not the correct forum please accept my apologies and point me to the correct forum when you flame me. :) I have looked for a proper Cygwin User Guide for Apache2 and a Cygwin Apache2 forum; but didn't find either. Any help in getting this running would be appreciated. I believe I am close to success, but I can't seem to find the magic options/commands for the cygrunsrv to automatically start the httpd2 daemons. I have attached the cygcheck.out file to help with the diagnosis. Cygwin is installed for all users. I've run rebaseall. I have set up a restricted account(nobody)and password and set the properties Deny access to this computer from the network, Deny login locally, and Log on as a service. I have run mkpasswd and verified the nobody entry is in /etc/passwd. I changed the shell for the nobody account to /bin/false (for security) in /etc/passwd file. I set the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file and uncommented the existing lines to set User nobody, and Group None, as shown in the /etc/passwd file. I also added an IfModule env_module tag to set PassEnv SYSTEMROOT. I have installed and configured Cygserver and it appears to be working. When I run /usr/sbin/apachectl2 start from the Admin user account command line I see several httpd2 processes (ps -eaf output) and I can connect to the http://localhost default It Works! page just fine, so I stop the apachectl2. When I try to get cygserver to start the service under the nobody user, nothing appears to happens (0 is the returned value). The command I have used is: $ cygrunsrv -I CYGWIN apache2 --path /usr/sbin/apachectl2 --args -D NO_DETACH -k start --dep cygserver --user nobody --shutdown I won't pretend to understand all details of the options as I copied this from a web site that appeared to know what they were doing. After I run the cygrunsrv command, ps -eaf does not show any httpd2 processes running and I can't connect to the default web page. I do see the CYGWIN apache2 service installed under windows Services; but the status is blank. If I start the service I get a message telling me the service started then stopped; no mention of any errors, but then this is windows and proper error messages aren't their style. I can remove the CYGWIN apache2 service with cygrunsrv -R CYGWIN apache2 with no trouble. One last question.

Re: Newbie confused about chmod
I cannot chmod files I untarred into a folder and I cannot chmod a file I create in cgwin myself. I understood that you could do this if the file system was NTFS. The bottom line is I have an executable that is not executable. In addition to solving that though it might be nice to get a better understanding. (snip) Any help or advice greatly appreciated for this newbie. Just to get rid of the obvious possibilities, check to see who owns the directory you are in, and what permissions the directory has. If you do not own the directory, or if you do not have permission to change files in the directory, even if the file permissions grant you access, you won't be able to make permission changes. If you can create the file but you can't chmod it to executable status, there may be some issue with your overall user access rights. Brian S.

Re: scp just spews usage
Hi, I've been using ssh with cygwin for years w/ no issues.? After my last upgrade, I am not able to use scp (ssh still works). $ scp myfile myusern...@myserver:~ usage: scp [-1246BCpqrv] [-c cipher] [-F ssh_config] [-i identity_file] [-l limit] [-o ssh_option] [-P port] [-S program] [[u...@]host1:]file1 ... [[u...@]host2:]file2 This same command has worked for me for long time.? Any ideas what's happening now?? (I have tried rebooting since the upgrade). I noticed that when I upgraded and didn't mind the messages from the setup-program saying that cygwin1.dll was in use and couldn't be updated. Try updating again and/or reinstalling ssh and be careful of the messages. I had a similar issue. It seems that some updates do not complete successfully under the circumstances you describe. I suspect there is an issue with shells failing to run successfully as I often have to try several times before I can get Cygwin to open a bash shell successfully. Others require a reboot (and you need to watch the messages for this information). I found I could fix most problems by booting to safe with networking mode and reinstalling the packages that weren't working. This restored my applications. I hope this works for you as well. I do the safe mode to prevent any problems with deamons or other applications running in the background. Sincerely, Brian S.

Re: SSH - Can't Login (3rd Post)
snip No, if it's reporting 1.7.1, I expect that's the version you're running. And I expect that's coming into play here. But go ahead and double check it in the Windows explorer. I expect you'll find it reports 1.7.1 too. This is a problem. I expect you know that you need to stop all your services before an upgrade in order to get the new DLL moved into place immediately, right? If you don't do this, it will queue up the move for next reboot. My guess is you've rebooted at least once since installing 1.7.x 1.7.1 but it's possible things have gotten gummed up if you didn't and have since done other upgrades (that's pure theory though). What's not is that you have ZoneAlarm installed that is known to cause problems. I'd recommend unstalling it, stopping all Cygwin services (cron, cygserver, httpd2, and sshd), reinstall the Cygwin package, and then restart the services. You should find this process gives you a current cygwin1.dll in '/bin'. If not, we need to look at the results of the installation process (and/or for http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#3PP ). Looks like the gummed up diagnosis was the correct one. I restarted my system in safe mode with networking and ran setup. It reported nothing needed to be updated (looks like setup has an issue with detecting differences between what is actually running, and what should be installed; but that is a different debate). I opened a Cygwin bash shell and ran the uname -a command and it still reported release 1.7.1, not 1.7.7. I reran the setup and reinstalled Cygwin and cygserver then rebooted the system back to its normal operations mode. Once the system was up and stable I restarted the bash shell and got a series of stack dumps with complaints about timing out waiting for a return from a long jump (another issue for another time). I closed the window and did the insane thing (repeated opening of a bash shell hoping for a different result). and this time I got a working shell prompt. I ran the uname -a command and this time it returned the 1.7.7 version. Next, I did an ssh to my own machine ssh ncc-1701 and was able to get the expected prompts for a login. Ssh appears to be working again. Thank you all for your help and suggestions. It is community support and cooperation, as well as support from the Dev team that keeps Cygwin one of the most popular *nix like environments for Windoze. Sincerely, Brian S.

Which probably means that you'd tried to update the cygwin package while a Cygwin process was running, told it to skip it when setup.exe complained about it, and forgot to reboot to trigger the delayed update. There have been reports of the delayed update not working under some circumstances, but nothing definitive. I did leave processes running when I did the update; good guess, but nope I did not skip the restart. I choose the continue option and whenever I got the restart message, I did a restart. I believe I have the latest setup as well, but am going to get a new one just in case.

Re: use the list of files stored in a text file and process it
I store a list of files in a text file (test.txt) on Windows XP.
I want to use the list of files and process it (e.g. ls).
What is the command to do that?
I tried the following commands but to no avail.
$ cat test.txt
test.txt
$ cat test.txt | xargs ls
: No such file or directory
snip...
Try something like cat test.txt | xargs -i ls {} or cat test.txt | xargs -t
ls I suspect the first one will work for you and the second one will show you
the command line before running the command (to help you debug in future).

Try changing the @echo line to something else and see if you still get the same results. Also try removing some of the -I cases and see if that makes a difference in the results. This could lead you to the answer if one of the patterns is causing the problem. Lastly do you need to use the -x PATtern exclusion options?

Re: distro apache2 will not start
The apache2 package is orphaned for this long period of time already. Maybe it's time to pull it from the distro, unless somebody would like to take over maintainership. Apache2 is too important to lose from the distro, so: I agree. I've been using the Apache2 binaries to run servers on laptops and desktop machines under Cygwin and I would hate to loose it in the distribution. It has allowed me to try out changes for larger NIX servers without having to worry about repercussions during product tests or production runs. While I was not able to get the svn modules working under apache2, I believe this is because I've been having trouble running the rebase commands on my systems. I wish I knew of a user group in my area that could help newbies understand what they were missing or doing wrong when they have problems installing or setting up Apache2. -- 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: Incomplete downloads reported across several mirrors
By any chance, when you start a Cygwin shell do you occasionally get errors like 4 [main] bash 15592 C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe: *** fatal error - couldn't allocate heap, Win32 error 487, base 0x6D, top 0x74, reserve_size 454656, allocsize 458752, page_const 4096? This is an error I've run into several times and it often causes problems with setup updates. The best advise I can offer is to try opening 20 or 30 shells at a time, several times, then close the windows until you don't get a lot of these errors. Then, quickly, run the setup script again. It doesn't hurt to keep opening and closing a few shell windows while the setup is running. You can also try the solution in the thread 1.7.1-1 Install freeze of Cygwin post install.sh which is a little drastic; but sometimes rebooting will reduce the frequency of this error occuring. This error has been reported on several threads previously, however I've never seen a good solution. Sincerely, Brian S.

In my case, I killed these useless shells and that allowed the Cygwin bash shell to start up with out heap space errors. I cleaned out the /etc/postinstall directory by removing any shell scripts (rm *.sh) and rerunning the setup. Cygwin installed okay for me after that. There's no reason to remove postinstall scripts and, in fact, very good reason to not do so - your installation could be incomplete.

Re: Windows 7
I had a similar problem upgrading on XP. I think my issue was related to a heap space allocation issue which prevents the shell from running during the installation. I found that failed installations left shell processes running, but not doing anything useful. Check the documentation as I believe there is a fix for the heap space issue. In my case, I killed these useless shells and that allowed the Cygwin bash shell to start up with out heap space errors. I cleaned out the /etc/postinstall directory by removing any shell scripts (rm *.sh) and rerunning the setup. Cygwin installed okay for me after that. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Brian S.

RE: Can't set variables in a while loop that is passed to the rest of the script.
The pipe is what spawns the sub shell. In Unix the last process runs in your
current shell. In Linux the first process of the pipe runs in the current
shell. The difference is that when the while statement (which is run in the
sub shell) finishes the sub shell dies and any variable changes are lost. In
Unix the variables remain in the current shell.
Sincerely,
Brian S. Wilson

Hi,
I have fixed the problem. It seems in cygwin it spawns a subshell
even under bash. I used a for loop instead and everything worked nicely.
for line in `sed 's/\$/^/g' $propfile`
do
nvpair=$(echo $line | awk -F= '{print $1,$2}')
set -- $nvpair
if [ ! $1 = ]; then
eval $1=\$2\
fi
done

Hi,
I had a script that worked on UNIX, but on Cygwin it does not work.
When I set a variable in a while loop I can't use it after the loop.
However, this worked in UNIX. Any ideas why? All variables set after
the done command are blank, but can be seen in the while loop.
propfile=${SCRIPT_HOME}/${propfilename}
sed 's/\$/^/g' $propfile | while read line
do
export david=Hello
nvpair=$(echo $line | awk -F= '{print $1,$2}')
set -- $nvpair
if [ ! $1 = ]; then
eval $1=\$2\
fi
done
echo $david
echo Setting siteminder_home
echo $siteminder_home
Thanks,
David

Re: setup 1.7.1 hangs on 000-cygwin-post-install.sh
I had the same problem and have written up the detailed solution on my own problem thread; but will share it again here. It looks like the issue is the shell is not starting (heap space error) so the installation won't complete it's last steps (which require running shell scripts). Don't know why. Basically boot in Safe Mode with Networking and run setup then select reinstall on all the base files. For me this got me to the point where I could get basic Cygwin working again and I could get a command shell running (sometimes). While this didn't eliminate the heap space error, I was able to manage it's impact for the time being. You might also want to run the cygcheck -s -v -r cygcheck.out command from the C:/cygwin/bin is a DOS or shell window and attach the cygcheck.out file to your email. It can help with the diagnosis.

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
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.

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. 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. Sincerely, Brian S.
