I have been getting the infamous "died waiting for dll loading; no child processes" error on my Cygwin installation (64-bit) on Windows 7. It all started when I attempted to install an update to Cygwin. I haven't installed any other software on the Windows 7 machine, so I don't believe that there is a conflict.
I have read the various entries about running rebaseall, which I have run, and that hasn't helped. I did see one post where someone said that they had figured out what to do when rebaseall doesn't work. But, the link in their post that pointed to the hinted at solution was dead.
I have tried removing the /etc/rebase.db.x86_64 file and running the rebaseall again.
I have tried removing my C:\cygwin64 directory and C:\cygwinInstall (that's where I have it put the downloaded files) and completely reinstalling, but that hasn't worked either.
I also tried loading the 32-bit version of Cygwin. That installation cannot even run the rebaseall command (it gets the fork error).
I am hoping that someone can provide another option for me to try.
