Oren,

I've moved this thread over to the galaxy-dev mailing list since it deals with a local installation.  Users on this list are more likely to have an answer for this type of question.

That said, we don't officially support running Galaxy under Cygwin (or Windows at all), and I don't know of anyone running such an instance.  If you *do* manage to get things working on Windows, however, it'd certainly be useful to know what you had to go through to make it happen.  One relatively painless option for running galaxy under windows, and what I'd suggest, would be to use the virtual machine we provide at usegalaxy.org/vm.

Let me know if you have any other questions, and good luck!

Oren, In addition to everything Dannon said, I'll add that the specific problem here is that we don't pre-build Python eggs for Cygwin. If you're still trying to do this, I'd suggest running scripts/fetch_eggs.py once to grab all platform-agnostic eggs, and then scripts/scramble.py to try to build the rest. Good luck! --nate

Dear All,

There are related posts but it is unclear from them how to resolve the following. I'm trying to start a Galaxy server on Cygwin and it fails when trying to fetch an egg relying on NumPy. Could you kindly advise how to resolve the error?

This uses the Cygwin python 2.6.5. I tried to point Cygwin to the Windows python (2.7.2 in my case) but that was even worse, the Mako egg threw a KeyError: 'Mako' exception up front.

Thank you so much, Oren
