Hi, Please point out if I'm wrong or misinformed... I'm trying to trace down the Vista cygwin setup.exe /etc/postinstall/gnuplot.sh "hang forever at 99%" problem. The current /etc/postinstall/gnuplot.sh contains the line: /usr/bin/install-info --dir-file=/usr/share/info/dir --info-file=/usr/s

I've had this problem with my installation as well and solve it by using the Windows XP Service Pack 2 compatibility mode (selectable in the Properties window of the Cygwin setup.exe executable). It installs fine now... hope it works out for you too. Kevin Hilton-3 wrote: > > Being using cygwi

Im not sure they are "broken" in the purest sense, however I waited over 2 hours for the gnuplot.sh script to finish. It never did. The script seems simple: #!/bin/sh if [ -f /usr/bin/texhash ] then /usr/bin/texhash fi /usr/bin/install-info --dir-file=/usr/share/info/dir --info-file=/usr/shar
