[Discuss-gnuradio] Permissions problem installing packages on Cygwin:

[Shabbir Ahmed]

Dear All:

During trying to install GNURADIO on a windows machine I am sure that every one runs into the following link:

http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/WindowsTips

I was having problems with the permissions on my Cygwin installation. The document above mentions about the ownership of two directories /usr/local/{lib,bin}. 

I was trying to install gr on windows VISTA. And even though I had the ownership of the above mentioned directories I still didn't have Permission to the folders.

For Windows Vista:

Make sure the User Account Control is turned OFF. That blocks the permission to the folders, even though you have the ownership.

Wanted to share this with the group.

Thank you loads.

Regards,

Shabbir
