DBD Mysql and perl under Cygwin 2.249.2.5 , need to run rebase??

[Zach Nobel]

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the quick reply. Didn't want to bother the list unless I'd 
figure things out first. However, I don't mind conversing on the list 
either.

You ask why I ran mkdir -p  WINNT/Profiles/.... below. I did so because 
I'd gotten the rebaseall error saying that the directory listed was not 
writable. Turns out the directory wasn't even existing. Somehow my Cygwin 
bash setup  decided that's what TEMP and TMP should be (though there was 
no directory there. Perhaps this is a default that Cygwin assumes for all 
installations...

As you pointed out, $TMP, and $TEMP are set incorrectly for my bash env.
as  the following gives 'directory not found'

     $ ls -ld /cygdrive/c/WINNT/Profiles/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/1


also, you ask:
> Why would rebuilding rebase fix the above permissions problems?

Actually, I may've been confusing here. The permissions problems that I 
was referring to were from the build.sh script not successfully making  a 
directory in /tmp. From the logfile I sent in the original message:
------------------
find: /tmp/rebase.2532/usr: No such file or directory

and 

tar: /tmp/rebase.2532: Cannot chdir: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
------------------

Suggests that the build.sh script wasn't successful in making a temp 
directory rebase.2532  in /tmp  (of the cygwin bash shell I was running to 
compile rebase.

I'll reset my TEMP, and TMP variables and re-run rebaseall , which I 
suspect should work fine now that you've pointed out what the rebaseall
script uses/assumes is available .

Thanks!
