Hi. There is an interaction between MSys shell (sh.exe, http://mingw.sourceforge.net/msys.shtml) and iSafer firewall (http://winsockfirewall.sourceforge.net/). It seems that after iSafer is started (pressing button start) sh.exe reports the following (4 prompt lines of cmd): C:\msys\1.0\bin>sh sh-2.04$ exit exit C:\msys\1.0\bin>sh sh-2.04$ exit exit C:\msys\1.0\bin>sh AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x715B0000, RegionSize 0x460000, State 0x10000 C:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap, Win32 error 6 C:\msys\1.0\bin>sh After the 2nd prompt and before the 3rd prompt I started iSafer Firewall. It is with security level high with rules for some programs (freevcs.exe, gaim.exe, firefox.exe, thunderbird.exe, delphi32.exe, pgadmin3.exe and netmsvnt.exe). Even after iSafer is stopped or closed sh.exe does not work. I am using Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2. The computer is AMD Athlon, 945MHz, 504 MB RAM. -- Eduardo Daudt Flach Engenheiro Eletricista CREA 108659-D Rua Dona Eugênia 504/01 Santa Cecília Porto Alegre - RS CEP 90630-150 Fone + 55 51 3379 1720 Cel + 55 51 9662 5525 |

Hello, I have a problem to install MSYS on a PC with Windows XP SP2. Perhaps=20 there is an interference with another installed software such that g95, gfortran, Photran (Eclipse+g95) that use MingW,=20 or Clamwin that uses cygwin ? I found a message in archives about a possible problem between MSYS and the iSafer firewall,=20 but the problem is the same when I stop and exit the firewall. This is the message I obtain during the postinstallation : E:\msys\1.0\postinstall>PATH ..\bin;E:\Utilitaires\TCLTK\bin;E:\Program=20 Files\Mi crosoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools;E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual=20 Studio\Comm on\Msdev98\BIN;E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual=20 Studio\DF98\BIN;E:\Program File s\Microsoft Visual=20 Studio\VC98\BIN;E:\WINDOWS\system32;E:\WINDOWS;E:\WINDOWS\Sys tem32\Wbem;E:\Utilitaires\j2sdk1.4.2_07\bin;E:\Utilitaires\GTK\2.0\bin;E:= \Progra m Files\Fichiers=20 communs\GTK\2.0\bin;E:\Utilitaires\Java\Bin\;E:\Utilitaires\Min gW32\bin\;E:\Utilitaires\Photran\MinGW\bin\;E:\Utilitaires\gfortran\bin;E= :\Utili taires\dislin\win;E:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual=20 Studio\DF98\BIN;E:\Utilitair es\g95\bin E:\msys\1.0\postinstall>..\bin\sh.exe pi.sh AllocationBase 0x0, BaseAddress 0x715B0000, RegionSize 0x3E0000, State=20 0x10000 E:\msys\1.0\bin\sh.exe: *** Couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap,=20 Win32 error 6 E:\msys\1.0\postinstall>pause Appuyez sur une touche pour continuer...

At this point MSYS is installed. The pi.sh script is more for cleanup purposes but also creates an entry in /etc/fstab if you choose to do that. Your PATH variable is large and riddled with spaces but I don't think that is unusual. Do you have a CYGWIN environment variable? If so, remove it, then try again.

It has been there since long before I discovered MSYS, and I've never seen this problem, when I've installed MSYS. Regards, Keith. |

So, yet another problem which isn't consistently reproducible. :-( But surely, MSYS doesn't need a CYGWIN environment variable. If it's known that it *may* cause a problem, perhaps the postinstall script should unset it, or at least `export -n' it; maybe msys.bat, or /etc/profile should do likewise. Regards, Keith. |
