Hi,
I am certainly no cygwin expert but what happens if you type
uname
on the cygwin terminal?
It should return something like
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 or the like.
Anyway, I would probably reinstall cygwin.
Good luck, sorry not to be more helpful-
Andreas

Betreff: [FSL] problems installing FSL on windows XP
Dear FSL list,
I have previously succesfully installed and used FSL, but a computer crash
forced me to reinstall FSL.
I use a windows XP, therefore I first installed Cygwin. Since the new
update from Cygwin was giving problems, I used the previous version from
Cygwin that I still had on CD. I have used FSL 3.1 with this previous
version of cygwin on exactly the same computer without problems before.
First I tried to install FSL 3.1. Extraction goes fine. After that I use:
echo 'export FSLDIR=/usr/local/fsl; export PATH=${FSLDIR}/bin:$PATH' >>
~/.bash_profile (Leaving the part ${FSLDIR}/etc/fslconf/fsl.sh; out, since
this does not go well with 3.1) and I should have been set to go. However,
whenever I try to start FSL I get the following error message:
'couldn't execute "c:\cygwin\home\lpxbdh\uname": no such file or directory
while executing
"exec uname"
invoked from within
"set UNAME [ exec uname ]"
(file "/usr/local/fsl/bin/fsl" line 14)
The file "uname" indeed does not exist in the directory where FSL is
looking for it, however, it does exist in c:\cygwin\bin. Naive attempts to
just copy this file into the directory where it is apparently looking for
it results in a new string of error messages.
After 2 days I gave up trying to install FSL 3.1. I decided to install FSL
3.2 instead following the instructions on the website to the letter. To my
surprise this resulted in the exact same error.
Is there somewhere I'm going wrong? I hope anyone can help me with this
feisty problem.
Regards, Bianca de Haan.
