Hi, Recently I extracted MSYS-1.0.11-20080821-dll.tar.gz and msysCORE-1.0.11-20080826.tar.gz to my existing MSYS installation but unfortunately some commands cease to work after the update: C:\MSYS\home\Zuxy>info gcc info: Terminal type `cygwin' is not smart enough to run Info. What's the problem? Is there any workaround? -- Zuxy |

You are right. There is a problem after the upgrade. I did not get the same error message. info was not able to find the gcc.info file. How to confirm this: First, to be sure that i have a clean and clear situation, i completely uninstalled MSYS. I first used the uninstall procedure, which did not completely removed MSys. So, i delete the MSys directory and all of its subdirectory. I then, installed MSys 1.0.10. info is working fine. do find *.info files in MingW and also do find *.info files pointed to by the INFOPATH env var. ie: INFOPATH=E:\MingW\info;E:\cygwin\usr\share\info Then i tried to untar the MSYS-1.0.11-20080821-dll.tar file. Did not worked, because MSys tar do used (and lock) the MSys dll. On Windows platform, a locked file cannot be replaced like this. So i used Winzip to install the new dll, (TAR file smart CR/LF conversion OFF) and tried info again. Every thing is still ok. You should know, that msysCore contains a newer msys dll. After installing msysCORE-1.0.11-20080826.tar with Winzip, because tar cannot replace the locked MSys dll, info was not completely working. The info files in MingW\info, (gcc.info for example), were not accessible anymore. info give error: Unable to find node referenced by `gcc' in `(dir)Top' The other info files, those in E:\cygwin\usr\share\info, were still available to info. So, there is a problem with the upgrade. fstab contains only: E:/MingW /mingw Path=E:\MSys\bin;E:\Msys\local\bin;E:\MingW\bin Hope that helps to fix the problem.

It seems that the problem is in the new info.exe (not the new msys dll). Things seems ok if you replace info.exe (from upgrade) with the one in MSys 1.0.10, keeping the new msys dll. I also tested new info with old msys dll, and the problem is still there. So new info.exe does not work.
