Cygwin "unable to remap..."

After thinking that Cygwin was finally "stably" installed on Vista-64bit, I started to see "unable to remap..." errors while running a perl CPAN module install.

What was that command that I had to run?.... Oh yeah, "rebaseall".

  • Start up an ash session from a cmd.exe window.
  • cd c:\cygwin
  • \bin\ash.exe
  • Then from the ash prompt: /bin/rebaseall
  • Then start up a Cygwin window... and everything should be working again.
-endCommunication!
