I downloaded Cygwin yesterday and installed it on my WinXP box this morning. While the install went fine, during the post-install configuration there were many errors. The windows appeared and disappeared for my to give specifics, but I do remember seeing that it was unable to find something dealing with apache, some said something about not being able to add 'Emacs' to a menu because it already existed. There were about 50 of those types of message for different programs. I don't remember the names other than the emacs one.
There were also a lot of errors that said permission denied. After the install, I ran cygwin to get a shell. When the window opens, I get the following: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf: Permission denied /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf: Permission denied /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf: Permission denied Printed three times just like that. Then I get my prompt but it says: Administrator@RPB-13741 ~ $ But, I'm not logged in as Administrator (although I am in the local admin group on this workstation). Why doesn't this have my normal username instead? Any suggestions on how to get the post-install to work properly and get rid of the errors? -- Matt Perry | matt at primefactor dot com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
