I am having a problem with bash and tar and I think it is just a
configuration issue.
My mounting structure is as follows:
Device Directory Type Flags
e: /e native text!=binary
d: /d native text!=binary
c: /c native text!=binary
c:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\usr\bin /bin native text!=binary
c:\cygnus\cygwin-b20 / native text!=binary
When I cd into / and execute "tar zxvf
e:/gnu/Downloads/gcc-2.95.2-cygb20.tar.gz ", I get the following error:
tar (grandchild): Cannot execute remote shell: No such file or directory
tar (grandchild): Cannot open archive
e:/gnu/Downloads/gcc-2.95.2-cygb20.tar.gz: I/O error
tar (grandchild): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
What have I set up incorrectly in bash?

Sorry, I was unaware that the link at sourceware was to the ftp directory.
Try
this one instead:
http://www.nanotech.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/index.html
RedHat/Cygnus could we update the pointer at the cygwin page please.
Earnie.
