cgf,
when I type 'cygcheck -s' I see both 'vim' and 'vim-src'. Does that mean I
have installed the -src ? I uninstalled the vim by clicking 'keep' to
'uninstall', Reinstalled it but still when I type 'vim' it says command not
found. Where am I going wrong ? thanks for your help.
Santi

The purpose of cygcheck is to determine what has been installed on your
system.
It's hard to conceive of a situation where you ran setup.exe, it seemed
to successfully install the package, and nothing showed up in /bin.
If I had to guess, I'd say that you had just installed the -src packages
somehow and not the binary, possibly by clicking on the source column
and not on the "Skip" column when you ran setup.exe.
I don't know if there is a problem with cygcheck.exe where it is reporting
a binary package being installed when it isn't, but that's my educated
guess.
