perlquestion azredwing Hi all,<p> I'm trying to install IO::Pty under Cygwin, since Windows doesn't support ptys but it's doable with Cygwin. Seems to go okay, but the installation for IO::Tty (a prereq) gets stuck trying to open /dev/ttyN (N has ranged from 0-3 so far):<p> <code> CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.20) Going to read '/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:30:56 GMT Running install for module 'IO::Pty' CPAN: YAML loaded ok (v0.71) Running make for R/RG/RGIERSIG/IO-Tty-1.08.tar.gz CPAN: Digest::SHA loaded ok (v5.47) CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok (v2.024) Checksum for /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/.cpan/sources/authors/id/R/RG/RGIERSIG/IO-Tty-1.08.tar.gz ok CPAN: Archive::Tar loaded ok (v1.52) IO-Tty-1.08/ IO-Tty-1.08/Makefile.PL IO-Tty-1.08/README IO-Tty-1.08/try IO-Tty-1.08/test.pl IO-Tty-1.08/META.yml IO-Tty-1.08/MANIFEST IO-Tty-1.08/Pty.pm IO-Tty-1.08/ChangeLog IO-Tty-1.08/Tty.pm IO-Tty-1.08/Tty.xs CPAN: File::Temp loaded ok (v0.22) CPAN.pm: Going to build R/RG/RGIERSIG/IO-Tty-1.08.tar.gz Now let's see what we can find out about your system (logfiles of failing tests are available in the conf/ dir)...

Something Cygwin related? I'm at a loss as to why this won't install.
