Hello,
Yesterday, I (re)ran v 2.697 of Cygwin's setup.exe to update anything
that was out of date.
Among other things, it updated RCS.
Now, the rcsdiff command no longer works on my box:
Dell Precision WorkStation 390 running Windows Vista Business
(x64) Service Pack 2
Here are the symptoms:
$ rcsdiff test.txt
===================================================================
RCS file: RCS/test.txt,v
retrieving revision 1.1
co: not found
rcsdiff: RCS/test.txt,v: co failed
$ echo $?
2
*** n.b., ALL OTHER RCS COMMANDS WORK -- ci, co, rcsdiff, rlog, ...
Cygwin version is (ac. to the cygwin1.dll properties of "Product
version 1007.5.0" and modification date of "4/12/2010 1:09 PM"):
Version 1.7.5
RCS version is (this matches cygcheck.out "rcs 5.7-10"):
$ rcs -V
RCS version 5.7
Sizes and dates of rcs exes are:
$ ls -ltr `which rcs co ci rcsdiff`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rich root 71K 2010-05-20 15:57 /usr/bin/rcs*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rich root 66K 2010-05-20 15:57 /usr/bin/co*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rich root 70K 2010-05-20 15:57 /usr/bin/ci*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rich root 48K 2010-05-20 15:57 /usr/bin/rcsdiff*
cygcheck.out is attached.
