Hi Bob,

and what's about

  echo $ECOS_REPOSITORY
  cat "$ECOS_REPOSITORY/ecos.db"

Sergei

Hi Sergei,
yes, the repository is defined and the database-file is there - see the 
lines below, copied from cygwinTerminal:

Robert@w36 ~
$ echo $ECOS_REPOSITORY
/opt/ecos/ecos_cvs/ecos/packages

Robert@w36 ~
$ cd $ECOS_REPOSITORY

Robert@w36 /opt/ecos/ecos_cvs/ecos/packages
$ ls -a
.          compat  devs           error  infra     kernel NEWS     services
..         CVS     ecos.db        fs     io        language pkgconf  
templates
ChangeLog  cygmon  ecosadmin.tcl  hal    isoinfra  net redboot

ECOS_REPOSITORY is also part of the windows environment - copied from 
windowsTerminal(cmd):
C:\Windows\System32>echo %ECOS_REPOSITORY%
D:\osy\cygwin\opt\ecos\ecos_cvs\ecos\packages

Meanwhile I also had some exchange with Alex Schuilenburg, but the 
problem persists: When launching configtools.exe (with a double click on 
a link on my desktop), configtools immediately runs on an error:
Error opening eCos repository: Invalid package database and in its log 
windows it displays:

ecos.db: error
   could'nt read file "/opt/ecos/ecos_cvs/ecos/packages/ecos.db": no 
such file or directory

otherwize, configtools other windows are empty. Clicking the error 
windows away then opens a window to specify the root of the eCos 
repository. However, the entry it displays is already correct:
D:\osy\cygwin\opt\ecos\ecos_cvs\ecos

and it does not help iwhen I change the path to 
D:\osy\cygwin\opt\ecos\ecos_cvs\ecos\packages

Hence, the problem is yet unsolved.
Bob
