Re: Installation
OK got locate working, but there seems to be something wrong in general with
calling commands.
"ls -l" works fine but...
"ls -l | more" does not
Also, I wanted to install cygipc but it gives me the following:
$ tar -C/ -xjf cygipc-1.13-2.tar.bz2
tar (child): cygipc.1.13-2.tar.bz2: cannot open: no such file or directory
tar (child): error not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
The file "tar.exe" is in my bin directory...why can't it see it?
