Hello, Apologies if my questions/problems are FAQs. I did skim the mailing list archives, but nothing caught my eye. (A search facility for the archive would be nice -- or maybe I missed that too?) a) The search commands '/' and '?' in 'less' don't work for me using msys-1.0.8-i386 on Windows 2000 5.00.2195, Service Pack 2, running on a Fujitsu BIIO Lifebook laptop. The search commands spew out lines like this: regcomp() regc(-100) reg(0,16) regbranch(1) ... and then "Invalid pattern (press RETURN)" on the last line. b) sh.exe freezes on me when I try to enter a command or do line editing on the command line when using rxvt. This happens using all of 1.0.7-i586, 1.0.7-i386, and 1.0.8-i386 versions. If anyone could help me with these problems, I'd much appreciate it. Best Regards, Joonas Pihlaja |

Please describe which keys you pressed and which commands you typed. If you can type a command, it may help to know the output of "uname -a". What directory did you install MSYS and Mingw into? You could also try renaming rxvt.exe to something else, which will cause MSYS to start in a normal command prompt window (but still running bash).

Thanks! I was looking for it on the geocrawler page where the archives are browsable, and somehow my brain didn't register the form on mingw.org earlier. :-} [snip less trouble] > > b) sh.exe freezes on me when I try to enter a command or do line > > editing on the command line when using rxvt.

The keys that freeze it are at least: backspace, page-up/down, Del, keypad keys. I'm a sloppy typer at best, and with the tiny keyboard on this laptop, I'm horrid! Note that CTRL-H doesn't freeze it, so will do for BS in a pinch. uname -a says: MINGW32_NT-5.0 DYLAN 1.0.8(0.46/3/2) 2002-07-19 12:23 i686 unknown MSYS is installed into C:\msys and Mingw into C:\mingw with the solitary line "c:/mingw /mingw" in /etc/fstab. Mingw is version 1.1, downloaded from the front page of mingw.org. > You could also try renaming rxvt.exe to something else, which > will cause MSYS to start in a normal command prompt window > (but still running bash). Does this give the same results? No freeze, I'm running bash happily in this mode without any problems, except I can't dynamically resize the window as freely as with rxvt.
