Re: xorg installation fails, 99% complete only




Is there some reason why you won't just run cygcheck.exe while setup is hung? Have you tried it? AFAIK, cygcheck should be operational by the time setup has gotten to installing X. It really has to be operational since cygcheck.exe comes along with the Cygwin DLL.

Also, you could even run, oh I don't know, it's just a pretty drastic
suggestion, but you *could* run "ps -ef".


In fact I did not use ps -ef (and cygcheck by the the way) for two reasons:
1/ I was following what happened with the windows task manager tool (where I followed the memory consumption)
2/ At this step of the install, you do not have the .bat or .sh command


I was wondering, if I launch setup.exe from my first installed cygwin on another directory using strace, will there be interactions between the old and new install ? Is it possible to have two completely different cywin install ? If yes I would know what is the loop in the program.

yes or no ?
