I did a "reinstall" of cygwin when I installed 1.7.1 over my 1.5.25 install.
It is my impression that this is the way to guarantee the complete install of the OS. How did such a critical file get missed and how can I guarantee other files were not missed. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com [mailto:cygwin-ow...@cygwin.com] On Behalf Of Andy Koppe Sent: Friday, March 12, 2010 12:48 PM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Subject: Re: missing paths Roe, Kevin L.: > My install is missing the /etc/profile file. > > I think this may be the reason for why I need the '-c "exec /bin/bash"' in my > shortcut. > > What do I need to have in my /etc/profile file besides what you mentioned. Lots. Probably best to reinstall the 'base-files' package at this point. If you created an /etc/profile just now, delete it first (because a customised profile won't be overwritten).
