After did some explore on my system, I found a very strange thing: the permissions on directory /etc/postinstall and all scripts contained in it are no correctly. Below is a piece of it:
That's not so important. These scripts are invoked directly by the shell and Cygwin knows they are shell scripts by looking at the #! line. So that's OK.
I compared to another normally run computer, the scripts in the directory should all be rwxr-xr-x for the file owner. then I tried to rename fontconfig.conf.done to fontconffig.conf and change permission for it, but I *can not*, the 'chmod' command takes no effect on the file.
I see. And we're supposed to know what this means by... what? Perhaps now would be a good time to review the problem reporting guidelines found here: <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>
What's wrong with my installation? I was using offline installation, and should be no corruption.
I don't know why an "offline" installation would be more or less susceptible to "corruption". -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
