I'm not sure, but you're pushing right up against the limits of a win32 file
path there. Does it work if you use a local package directory with a shorter
path? Try something directly under C:\users\clark\Public and see if that
works, or maybe just removing one of the "cygwin-1.7.5_2010.07.23" levels from
your existing path will make it short enough.
cheers,
