RE: 1.5.5-1:libpcre0 package missing when I chose the Download fr om Internet install option.


Hi Larry,

Good question.  Pair.com is listed under available sites.  It is listed as a
ftp url.  ftp://ftp.cygwin.mirrors.pair.com

I think the issue is that by default setup.exe "Skips" libpcre0.  To get
less to work, I had to click into the "Libs" section of the setup preview
and "check" libpcre0 to get this library installed.

Steve,

Is pair.com a valid Cygwin mirror site?  I don't see it on the list of
available sites in setup.  It's possible that this site is old/
unreliable/no longer a mirror.  Please try one of the other sites listed by
setup and report back if you still see the problem.

Thanks,


Larry
