Brian's suggestion is the simple, reliable, and robust way to make this work.

After that I have the problem. >Before that I had no problem. I'll take your word for it but I still think you should heed Brian's advice. Looking at your cygcheck output, one can see that you have Cygwin executables like 'bash.exe', 'cat.exe', and 'gcc.exe' in 'C:\cygwin\bin\', to name a few. This is in direct conflict with your mounts. From your mounts, I'm led to conclude that you installed Cygwin into the directory you downloaded Cygwin to, which has historically caused problems. It's clear that at least at some point in the past, you also installed Cygwin into 'C:\cygwin\bin\'. So I'd recommend looking at this conflict and getting it resolved. Brian's suggestion may be all that's necessary to set this straight. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
