First off, I cannot run cygcheck and give you the results. My machine is completely disconnected from the internet and has no external write capability.
I installed 1.7.1 on a machine that already had 1.5. The machine is a dual quad core Intel box running 64 bit XP. After installation, I launched the rxvt BASH shell. The shell came up in the wrong directory (/usr/bin), but upon the “cd” command, went to the appropriate location declared in the /etc/passwd file. At that point, I tried running a simple command, ssh. The system said “bash: ssh: command not found” So, I did an echo of $PATH. The result was missing all the cygwin paths (/usr, /bin, …), but included windows paths: (if you were wondering about the statement at the top, this was typed in manually) /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/roe2/My Documents/bin /cygdrive/c/Program Files/LLNL/VisIt 1.11.0 /cygdrive/c/Perl/site/bin /cygdrive/c/Perl/bin /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32 /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Attachmate/RSecure/ /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0 /cygdrive/c/PROGRA~1/cvsnt /cygdrive/c/Program Files/TortoiseSVN/bin /cygdrive/c/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystem/ /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Hummingbird/Connectivity/14.00/Accessories/ /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Hummingbird/Connectivity/14.00/NFS Maestro/ /cygdrive/c/Program Files/CVSNT/ /cygdrive/g /cygdrive/c/Program Files/CUBIT 12.0/bin /usr/lib/lapack I know I included what looks like two problems here, but I am fairly sure they are linked and I wanted to include as much info as possible. I don’t understand why the path is missing, any guidance on how to fix the problem would be appreciated. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Larry Hall (Cygwin) Sent: Friday, March 12, 2010 10:42 AM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: missing paths On 3/12/2010 1:34 PM, Roe, Kevin L. wrote: > My $PATH in my new install of 1.7.1 is missing the cygwin directories > (/usr/local/bin, /usr/bin, /bin, /usr/X11R6/bin) > > Is this a result of the mount point issue called out on the cygwin home > page?
