It did help and worked; thanks. Indeed, I had installed it in different places the two times. For the archives, a couple clarifications on the instructions. "From a command prompt" means "from a windows command prompt" not a cygwin/bash command prompt. In the `command` on my windows box, semi-colon does not separate commands, so the cd and the .\<program> need to happen as separate commands. I haven't looked at the output of cygcheck yet; after doing the umount I tried what had failed and it seems to work. Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Igor Peshansky [mailto:pechtcha AT cs DOT nyu DOT edu] Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2006 10:35 AM To: David LaFrance-Linden Cc: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com; david_ll AT ladebug DOT zko DOT hp DOT com Subject: Re: Variation on: regular user, bash cannot find /tmp You probably installed into a different directory for that user, and you have stale user mounts. Unfortunately, you have not attached the output of "cygcheck -svr" from the failing user (which you could have gotten via "cd c:\cygwin\bin; .\cygcheck -svr" from a command prompt). Just unmount all user mounts as the problem user: "cd c:\cygwin\bin; .\umount -U".
