[infomap-nlp-users] Reinstalling Infomap under Cygwin

[<MS...@FS...>]

Hi all,

After the system administrators of my faculty were so kind as to format my =
local harddrives ("you don't need them anyway"), I'm finding I'm having qui=
te a bit of unforseen difficulty getting Infomap (latest version) to work a=
gain under Cygwin. As I had it working for a two years or so, I hope someon=
e would be able to help me.

First, when installing, and after doing the ./configure (either with or wit=
hout prefix), I get a single error:
Checking for dbm_open in lgdbm... no
But then it goes on stating that
Checking for dbm_open in lgdbm_compat... yes

Still, the manual seems to indicate this is especially important for Infoma=
p, so my guess would be that it has something to do with this. Anyway, cont=
inuing my report, "make" and "make install" work fine, but I get a big erro=
r when building a model:=20
(everything goes fine up till "opening file for 'r': /infomap_working_dir/l=
eft, which is nearly in the end)
Can't open /infomap_working_dir/word2offset Failed to dbm_Open(): Device or=
 resource busy.
make: *** [/infomap_working_dir/wordvec.bin] Error 1

So, would anyone know if this is a problem related to dbm_open? I have some=
 experience with Infomap, but little with Unix/cygwin or programming in C, =
so I found some information on the forum about gdbm and ndbm and linking th=
is to that, but that was too advanced for me.=20

Thanks for reading, and or helping!

Cheers,
