> I installed a new version of cygwin yesterday, and find that bash starts up and builtins seem to execute, but when I try the first command, cygwin exits
This is not related to the new bash version but related to new cygwin 1.5.24-1. As soon I installed this new version alone without bash or any other cygwin package, my Windows X64 stopped to work for any cygwin command even if I run gcc from cmd.exe. Reverting to 1.5.23 let my system work again. Christian hope it helps. -- 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/
