Hi all, I noticed a slight problem with three of the *PATH variables that are set in a login xterm window, such as the one started by the startxwin.sh script. It seems to be caused by the /etc/profile script blindly adding directories to PATH, MANPATH and INFOPATH.
In startxwin.sh, the xterm is started with this: xterm -e /usr/bin/bash -l & When you run the following command in that xterm window, notice the duplicate directories at the start of the INFOPATH, MANPATH and PATH variables: set | grep PATH Is this a Cygwin-X problem, or is this a base Cygwin problem? I'll gladly report it over on the regular Cygwin list if needed. Regards, Peter __________________________________ Yahoo!
