I have done some poking though. First I tried setting the owner (via windows explorer) to chris through the Vim directory, but that revoked all permissions from all files folders and I got continual permission denied errors on chmod. There's an strace of the chmod output at [1] if it's of any use. So I've gone in the other direction and set the owner to Administrators throughout the C:\Vim tree, and now every folder and every file has perms of 700 which were automagically assigned on change of ownership. Thus I can now execute Vim from ksh. I still get permission denied errors on chmod (even though chris is a member of Administrators), but now it's not an (immediate) concern. Although I've resolved the problem, I'd be interested to know what could be causing this, although a quick google suggests it could be down to Vista's UAC [2]. Has there been any more work done in this area, or is the workaround suggested there still the only one (short of actually disabling UAC). See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rebase-2.4.3.README... But rebase is more likely to fix your zsh problem than your pdksh problem. Igor Yep, thanks.

pdksh having problems starting native gvim on Vista x64
Hi all, I've a recently installed Cygwin setup on Vista x64 and I've been having problems with pdksh. I've got a x64-build of native gvim installed[1] which pdksh doesn't want to start. On trying to run I get: $ /cygdrive/c/vim/vim71/gvim.exe /bin/pdksh: /cygdrive/c/vim/vim71/gvim.exe: cannot execute - Permission denied $ However, running it via every other shell going (ash, bash, tcsh and csh) is fine and gvim pops up well and good. The exception is zsh, with which I get the following error on invoking: 3 [main] zsh 6168 C:\cygwin\bin\zsh.exe: *** fatal error - unable to remap C:\cygwin\lib\zsh\4.3.4\zsh\complete.dll to same address as parent(0x31) != 0x35 Googling has shown me this thread[2] that mentions rebaseing the DLLs. However, before I go ahead and do this willy-nilly, I did want to confirm that it was the correct thing to do given the the thread as well as the mail threads linked to are a few months to a year old. So questions ultimately are: 1. Has anyone seen the behaviour exhibited by pdksh before, or any idea what could be attemtped to fix it? 2. Is rebasing the right thing to do, and is it just 'rebaseall' I should be executing? Cheers all, Chris...

I doubt the pdksh problem has anything to do with rebasing. So questions ultimately are: 1. Has anyone seen the behaviour exhibited by pdksh before, or any idea what could be attemtped to fix it? I would do chmod a+x /cygdrive/c/vim /cygdrive/c/vim/vim71 /cygdrive/c/vim/vim71/gvim.exe first, and see if it fixes your problem. If that does not work, and the output of ls -l I requested above doesn't help, it would probably be time to look at the strace output. 2. Is rebasing the right thing to do, and is it just 'rebaseall' I should be executing? See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rebase-2.4.3.README...
