Subject: Problems running makewhatis


I've installed most - not all - of Cygwin and have been trying to run 
/usr/sbin/makewhatis. First time run thru I get the following:

cp: cannot create regular file `/var/cache/man/whatis': No such file or 
director
y
/bin/awk: not found
/bin/awk: not found
/bin/awk: not found
/bin/awk: not found

This repeats a couple times. If I manually create the 'missing' directory 
the cp error clears up but I still get several lines regarding the /bin/awk 
error.

Everything else seems to work fine I just wanted to get the man pages
going. 
Advice please?


Huw D.
