Subject: Installation fails on Cygwin
I installed all the prereqs successfully using cpanm, but IO-Compress installation itself failed with errors like these: 0 [main] perl 8100 child_info_fork::abort: address space needed by 'Bzip2.dll' (0x360000) is already occupied 0 [main] perl 6512 child_info_fork::abort: address space needed by 'Bzip2.dll' (0x360000) is already occupied 42 [main] perl 8108 child_info_fork::abort: address space needed by 'Bzip2.dll' (0x360000) is already occupied 0 [main] perl 3792 child_info_fork::abort: address space needed by 'Bzip2.dll' (0x360000) is already occupied 0 [main] perl 1252 child_info_fork::abort: address space needed by 'Bzip2.dll' (0x360000) is already occupied 0 [main] perl 8704 child_info_fork::abort: address space needed by 'Bzip2.dll' (0x360000) is already occupied # Failed test (/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.14/Test/NoWarnings.pm at line 45) # There were 6 warning(s) # Previous test 9 'bzgrep' # Can't fork, trying again in 5 seconds at t/010examples-bzip2.t line 83. # at t/010examples-bzip2.t line 83. # main::check('/usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::testlib" -w ./examples/io/bzip2/b...', 'the end\x{a}this is the\x{a}really the end\x{a}') called at t/010examples-bzip2.t line 117 #
Hey Ken, don't use Cygwin myself, so I did a quick search on the child_info_fork::abort error. The text below from the Cygwin FAQ (http://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.fixing-fork-failures) seems to indicate that this is a common-ish issue. Please note that installing new packages or updating existing ones undoes the effects of rebaseall and often causes fork() failures to reappear. If so, just run rebaseall again Can you try a rebaseall and report back please? again sorry for the delay in reaponding. Paul
Thanks Paul - I've never heard of rebaseall before but I'll give it a shot when I'm back in the office in a few days. I'll let you know what I find. -Ken

Hey Ken, did you make any progress with rebase? Paul
