Good evening again,

install in two phases worked well. I can deinstall again and verify if there is the problem again ? could it be useful ?

joined :
an analysis of my system
the cygcheck result

hope that helps



I'm noticing a bunch of XFree86 modules in this cygcheck, too.

Where are they coming from?  I wouldn't have expected many XFree86
modules in a clean install.

I don't know why but it is probably of no importance for the problem at hand. Could you say me if my mails joined are a bad analysis of this problem ?

This is perhaps a problem:
TEMP = `C:\DOCUME~1\bruno\LOCALS~1\Temp'
TMP = `C:\DOCUME~1\bruno\LOCALS~1\Temp'

TEMP = `c:\DOCUME~1\ericson\LOCALS~1\Temp'
TMP = `c:\DOCUME~1\ericson\LOCALS~1\Temp'

Plese try setting TEMP and TMP in the Windows global environment to some PATH without spaces in it, eg.:
TEMP=c:\TEMP
TMP=/tmp


Gerrit

Gerrit,

I was thinking of something. I would be surprised that my test with different TMP variables could work because they work for all the packages before. Could it be more something like trying to open more than the permitted number of files ? when trying at this step to open one more handler, setup would fail go into a continuable exception not releasing the memory associated with this corrupted handler and trying again consuming memory ?

Is it ridiculous ?

ok I've done it, it did not work. I'll try something else. I will remove one and only one unitary package in order to see if I block on the same file. If not I will assume my hypothesis based on the number of file opened could be a good one.

I was right, deleting only one file of the list of file to install meant the ability to write one more file on the disk (in my case I'm now blocked on the xorg-x11-fsrv-6.8.1.0.README. I do nt hink that it is a problem specific to xorg. xorg unhappily was in the last packages to be installed. Ami I right ? It would mean that this thread is not well placed in the xfree list.
