Hi all!! :)
Just done my weekly "get Cygwin up to date" routine, in which I've
gotten:
cygwin-1.3.20-1
patch 2.5.8-3.
vim-6.1.300-1
and w32api-2.2-1
and now every time I do a "fortune" I get:
javier> fortune
fortune:/usr/share/fortune/fortunes not a fortune file or directory
Even when I give an explicit fortune.dat file on the path:
javier> fortune /usr/share/fortune/osfortune.dat
fortune:/usr/share/fortune/osfortune.dat not a fortune file or directory
and on the dir itself:
javier> fortune /usr/share/fortune/
fortune: /usr/share/fortune/: No fortune files in directory.
fortune:/usr/share/fortune/ not a fortune file or directory
but the contents of the dir haven't changed:
total 3604

I have reinstalled the software, and I see that the install program has
given the files over to Administ.Ninguno ("Administrator / None" in
spanish) ... but I am logged as "Javier" both in Cygwin and under
windows, and am a member of the Administrators group?!
Any ideas of why the install program does so?
Also, "which" seems to be broken:
javier> which -a ls
ls: Command not found.
javier> ls -la /usr/bin/ls*
- -rwx------+ 1 Administ Ninguno 68608 Jun 15 2001
/usr/bin/ls.exe*
javier>
Thanks a lot :)
Javier
