Rather than express amazement that I raised the issue why not just prove that this doesn't mean anything by simplifying your path and trying again? I would try just doing something like: c:\>set PATH=c:\cygwin\bin;c:\windows;c:\windows\system32;c:\windows\system32\Wbem bash$ ... I also meant to mention that you should remove the reference to /usr/bin since /bin and /usr/bin are the same directory under Cygwin. This won't have any effect other than to make things slightly slower but you don't need to have this in your path. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
