It seems that the postinstall script did not run. Cygwin uses an alternatives mechanism similar to that used in Debian, such that you can have different versions of the same application, for example. In Cygwin there are both automake 1.4 and 1.9 and you can have them installed at the same time and decide which one you want to use. The postinstall script sets up things such that you will use the last automake you installed. Please, see if you have /etc/postinstall/automake1.9.sh without a .done suffix. If yes, then simply run the script and rename it as /etc/postinstall/automake1.9.sh.done afterwards. Do this for each .sh script you find in /etc/postinstall. Alternatively, use setup.exe and choose to reinstall each application for which you find an .sh script without a .done suffix. -- Enrico
