[GRASSLIST:5005] RE: cvs login: warning: failed to open //.cvspas s for reading: No suc h file or directory

[Patton, Eric]

Ok, I've noticed something related to my last question that might be the
problem....when I log out of Cygwin Grass 5.7, I get the following message:

 

Closing monitors.....

Cleaning up temporary files.....

cp: cannot create regular file '//.grassrc57': No such file or directory

 

Goodbye from GRASS GIS

 

 

Where are those double slashes coming from? Is that a typical Cygwin error?
I seem to recall there was a thread about double slashes ending up in
directory and file paths under Cygwin, does anyone know about this error?

 

Thanks,

 

~ Eric.

I received the following error when trying to login to CVS:

 

cvs login: warning: failed to open //.cvspass for reading: No such file or
directory

cvs  [login aborted]: could not open //.cvspass for writing: No such file or
directory

<sigh>...here are the steps I used:

 

(using Cygwin bash shell)

export
CVSROOT=:pserver:grass-guest at intevation.de:/home/grass/grassrepository

cvs login

 

 

Thanks,
