Hi all,

I still have the problem with autoreconf.
i executed rebaseall and had no luck.
i also tried reinstalling the whole cygwin environment. nothing.
all the packages are up to date.

When i execute autoreconf i get the following errors. anyone has some
ideas?

Thanks,
Simon


$ autoreconf -i

       1 [main] perl 4304 child_info_fork::abort: unable to remap
Cwd.dll to same
  address as parent (0x780000) - try running rebaseall
Can't fork, trying again in 5 seconds at
/usr/share/autoconf/Autom4te/General.pm
  line 307.


please follow
Problem reports:       http://cygwin.com/problems.html

and attach a copy of cygcheck.out


attached is a cygcheck.out.
the system is as follows:
OS: Win XP servicepack 3 32 bit. haven't got a better system to test at
the moment, sorry.
Installed are all cygwin packages using the installer, just updated this
morning.
while the install i had some issues already while it was running
/etc/postinstall/zp_texlive_finish.dash and it hang doing this.
seems perl got stuck.
so the rebaseall script worked fine but it seemed to have some issues on
this.
then i tried autoreconf and it showed me the errors above.

i also tunred off my antivirus software because i found out months ago
that it doesn't like cygwin all that much. so i had that turned off the
whole install and also when i use cygwin.
so it couldn't be the antivirus.

greetings and thanks for helping,
simon

Hi Simon,
why have you installed everything ?

your system :
$ grep OK cygcheck.out |wc -l
5301

my system:
$ cygcheck -cd |wc -l
1304

so you have 4 time more packages then me and I am a heavy user.

I strongly suspect that you consumed all available
address slots for rebase, so the forks are almost impossible.
May be on a 64 system it will work, but on 32 bit you have an issue.

on my 32 bit system all the addresses from
 $ rebase -si | awk '{print $3}' |sort | head -n 1
0x3d730000

to 0x6fff0000 are busy.

Please check the output of
   rebase -si | awk '{print $3}' |sort | head -n 1

or look for the lowest address using
 rebase -si |less

I suggest you to remove most of  not necessary programs.
