Hi Managed to totally screw up my Cygwin by trying to reinstall the base utilities in setup. .
Setup kept complaining that /usr/share/locale/af was being shared or locked , ... exit all cygwin etc, reboot required etc ... no luck.. wouldn't even let me do a fresh install into a new directory. In the end manually created the directory af in /usr/share/locale also /usr/share/locale/af/LC_MESSAGES and magically my Cygwin was all bright and shiny again. Don't know if this was a one off , or a chestnut, or if this posting might help someone! -- zzapper http://zzapper.co.uk/ Technical Tips -- 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
