Trying to run kbs.tcl on Windows 7 64-bit. When it tries to cvs checkout the Tcl source to bootstrap the Tcl interpreter, I get the following errors in both the tcl and tk source trees:

cvs : cannot rename file CVS/Entries.Backup to CVS/Entries: Permission denied

and the checkout aborts. If I manually drop into those directories, I can rename files no problem. I'll try it as an admin, and on an XP virtual machine, but I'm just curious if this is something simple to fix. Thanks.

Unfortunately I do not connect to the internet with windows. Trying under Linux works.
btw. have you the same problem when you run on the command line:
cvs -d:pserver:anonyous@tcl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tcl co -r core-8-5-9 tcl

Yes, I did; same result. I'm guessing it is something with MinGW's cvs implementation and Windows 7, because the exact same cvs checkout on Linux (from command line) works fine.

I'm going to install MinGW in a XP VM and try it, but I'm not holding my breath. I was just asking here to see if anyone else had had, and fixed, this issue.

Tried it in XP, and it appears to be working. I'll follow up on this issue with the MinGW people. Thanks.
