I had great difficulties installing 1.7 on Windows XP home edition running in VirtualBox as I described here: <http://cygwinusers.org/index.php?topic=10.msg20>
But when I finally changed the Local Package Directory from I:\ (which I used VirtualBox to map to a directory on the host machine) to I:\pkg, it worked with no problems. This is a work around, which solves it for me, though I think it should still be fixed. -Ken Jackson -- 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
