Re: problem with openssh install


Buschel, Alejandro wrote:
Igor, the problem is the following:

/usr/local/bin/ssh.exe is 3.0.2

/usr/bin/ssh.exe is 3.6

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/etc..........

So, the install does not check the whole path to see if there are other
copies of ssh that need to re replaced. I thought the default installation
directory was /usr/local/bin, yet it seems to be /usr/bin.

Two options: change the order in $PATH in my config, or copy the ssh.exe
from one directory to another. I wonder how many more apps are installed
this way.....

Have a great weekend,

OK, so this is just a local configuration problem. You should change your path or keep track of local packages you put in /usr/local/bin. Cygwin packages distributed with setup.exe always install to /usr/bin, /bin (which is the same as /usr/bin) or /usr/sbin (this is rare). No Cygwin package post-install script goes hunting around looking for other versions not previously installed by setup.exe. So if you have other packages in /usr/local/bin that would conflict with those you're installing with setup.exe, your best bet is to get rid of them.
