Thread: installing cygwin, cygipc

installing cygwin, cygipc

From
Bruce Becker
Date:
I unpacked the cygipc tar package and went to "ipc-daemon &" to start
the service. The system could not find the file. I tried different
directories, did a search for it and still no luck. Should I expect a
bad cygipc download. I downloaded version 1.13-2. Please help. Need
this going to complete a lab assignment.

I also use that version and everything works ok.
I suggest you download it again and reinstalling cygipc.
IMHO, there could be no hard anyway.

Good luck

The above seems to indicate that /usr/local/bin is not in your PATH.
Either add it:

    PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

or type the full path:

    /usr/local/bin/ipc-daemon &

Note that the above is for a bash session.  If you are using cmd, then
you will have to do the Windows equivalents.

How did you extract the cygipc tarball?  Did you do the following?

    tar -C / -xjf cygipc-1.13-2.tar.bz2 # assumes tarball in current dir
