You have texmf, cygwin, djgpp, MKS *and* mingw all in your path at the same time. That's four clashing posix-on-windoze installations plus one posix app. I think you'd better try isolating them from each other a bit more. Also, I'd imagine that the reason that your install was fine until you recently upgraded it, doesn't mean that something in setup suddenly got broken. I think that in between the previous upgrade and the most recent one, you installed some other clashing software on your computer, and it's _that_ which caused the problem next time setup tried to work. If the post-install scripts fail and crash owing to running in a clashing environment, you can expect lots of stuff to go wrong. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
