SVK on Cygwin

[ #30937 ]

Installing SVK on Cygwin with CPAN gives me the following error:

Warning: prerequisite File::Spec 3.18 not found. We have 3.05. Warning: prerequisite IO::Digest 0 not found. Warning: prerequisite PerlIO::via::dynamic 0.11 not found. Warning: prerequisite SVN::Mirror 0.66 not found. 5 [main] perl 5076 C:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe: *** fatal error - unable to remap C:\cygwin\bin\cygexpat-0.dll to same address as parent(0xCF0000) != 0xD00000 5 [main] perl 5076 C:\cygwin\bin\perl.exe: *** fatal error - unable to remap C:\cygwin\bin\cygexpat-0.dll to same address as parent(0xCF0000) != 0xD00000 6 [main] perl 2844 child_copy: loaded dll bss write copy failed, 0x6BB04000..0x6BB04120, done 0, windows pid 2288016, Win32 error 5 6 [main] perl 2844 child_copy: loaded dll bss write copy failed, 0x6BB04000..0x6BB04120, done 0, windows pid 2288016, Win32 error 5 Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test Running make install Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install

Googling a bit on the "unable to remap" issue returned some pages on 'rebase' and 'rebaseall'. After the 'rebaseall', CPAN installed SVK cleanly.

A rundown:

Close all Cygwin windows, stop all Cygwin services and all Cygwin applications
Start the ash shell by typing ash in your Start > Run... Then type
rebaseall

. There is also a short section on similar issues in the Perl 5.8.8 package. The rebase apparently remaps the memory addresses in the DLLs (whatever that may mean :) )
