Error Failed To Spawn Gnu Rlog
Next message: [Cvsnt] rlog problem on cvsweb NT Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Arthur, Thanks a lot for your help. Well I orginally was working with the same zip file that you sent, so the rcs distribution files definitely were not the problem. Thanks to Mathew who sent me a RCS file which was getting "rlogged" i discovered what the problem was. Any RCS file has an entry similar to this for each revision of the file date 2000.03.10.12.32.30;author arvind;state Exp; If the name of the author is a numerical value for instance the employee number of an organization, rlog seems to fail. So the same line if changed as shown below seems to fail. date 2000.03.10.12.32.30;author 1000;state Exp; After making the above change rlog has been working perfectly fine, BUT i seriously feel that this is an issue and definitely needs to be fixed. I am now able to view the revisions and sort the revisions of the file but when I click on the revision number to view the file I get the following error. Error: Unexpected output from cvs co: cvs [checkout aborted]: EOF in value in RCS file c:\cvs\ExerciseRoot\exercise\100027\src/main.c,v Check whether the directory c:/cvs/ExerciseRoot/CVSROOT exists and the script has write-access to the CVSROOT/history file if it exists. The script needs to place lock files in the directory the file is in as well. cvs -dc:/cvs/ExerciseRoot co -p -r1.3 "exercise/100027/src/main.c" I am trying to work on the following problem now. If you have any suggestions do let me know. Thanks a lot Mathew for the help. Without that file I guess I would have never figured it out :) regards Arvind --- Arthur Barrett wrote: > Arvind, > > I have not seen this particular error message from > rlog before. > > However problems with "failed to spawn GNU rlog on" > are commonly reported. > I have always the same copy of rcstools which always > seems to work. > > Try this copy of rlog instead. > > Regs, > > > Arthur Barrett > <> > > > ---------- > > From: Arvind Raman > > Sent: Saturday, July 6, 2002 9:12 PM > > To: CVSNT > > Subject: [Cvsnt] cvsweb: Error: Failed to spawn > GNU rlog on...... > > > > I am trying to install CvsWeb.

format, some or all of this message may not be legible. -- Imraan, This problem is commonly reported. I have always used a different copy of rcstools which always seems to work. Try this copy of rlog instead.
