Question 9

Question 9

The Cygwin setup program fails to install Macaulay 2, complaining about the absence of the file setup.ini.sig.

Answer

The problem is that the latest versions of setup.exe insist on a signature for the file setup.ini, and we can't produce such a signature. We will work on getting Macaulay 2 to appear in the official and standard cygwin repositories. Meanwhile, download the tar file.
