Hi,
I installed cygwin on MS Windows XP from files I downloaded earlier
this week (13 or 14 Feb 2006). Picked the default option to make cygwin
available for all users. I installed from the Administrator account.
Usually, the first time I start cygwin, it recommends running mkpasswd and
mkgroup. This time it did not so I performed those two steps by hand (with
the local option since the PC is not part of a domain).
Everything works fine from the Administrator account: regular cygwin bash
command window and startx. From a regular account (with Power User), bash
startup fails with the following error message (or something similar,
doing this from memory).
bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!
Made sure /tmp exists and is accessible: it is. Made sure the user's home
directory exists and is accessible: it is.
From the failed bash, few things run: 'pwd' is OK but bash cannot find
'ls'. The PATH variable does not contain any cygwin paths.
It looks like the port-installation failed or initialisation failed. Note
that I installed a subset of the packages I normally install. There were
no dependency warnings.
What am I missing?
Thank you.
