Hi, i require to use cygpath, and this is supposed to come with standard installation. i get this message, first i tried default installation, tough i may have changed install defaults in the first try (i dont remember if i changed them in the first try), but if i did, it was to add new packgages (bitmap libs, gcc, xml and i believe something else but i dont rememebr what; i did this because i am trying to run a project from source forge, and it said it required those libs -except from gcc and opnegl, which i added by my account-). the thing is, starting from scratch, i did not remove any defaults from the default installation, though during installation, i got messages that some packages had not a correct dm5 checksum, and it asked me if i wanted to skip those, and i said yes (i assumed that if those packages were skipped or installed incorrectly, they would be updated the next time i runned the setup program), so anyway, i believe i downloaded the first time from 'http:idaho.edu' (once again, i am not sure), or whatever, in any case i need that utility and there is no cygpath in my installation. so i try to run setup, and i tell it to 'reinstall' the packages i believe may have something to do with cygpath, or that may contain cygpath, including 'admin', 'utils', 'system', 'shells' and others, i believe i told it to install 'utils' in full, but cygpath still does not appear anywhere. i googled 'cygwin cygpath not found',a nd there was a thread in a postgres list about the cygpath.exe something, and in the thread they suggest to reinstall from scratch. in my case, or in any case that would be nasty; i installed many packages, i dont remember wich ones, and i dont want to do this all again, and if i try to install from scratch again, and the mirror also has bad checksums or bad packages (no way to tell until the install is in progress), then i am wasting my time, so is there any way to download the cygpath.exe and write in the folder manually, and if so, where do i download it and where do i copy it?

If you're getting messages about checksum problems, you're either having a problem with a particular mirror or your connection. If it's the former, try a different mirror. If it's the latter, try a better connection. ;-) <http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=cygpath.exe> tells you the package that cygpath comes in. Given that it's in the package with the Cygwin DLL, if you're not getting that package installed, you don't have a valid Cygwin installation yet. Your best bet is to resolve the installation problem first. -- Larry _____________________________________________________________________ A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
