as explained before /usr/bin is a mount point to /bin and therefroe nothing physically located in /usr/bin will be found. This behaviour for mount point is *normal* in any Unix. This mount point is standard for Cygwin as explained in the FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC61 Regards, Jörg -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
