Open cmd.exe shell 2. "cd C:\cygwin\bin" or whereever the /bin dir has ended up when you've installed it. 3. "bash --login -i -x" Now bash will print out to the screen all the startup scripts as it executes them. Once you've seen what the failing code is, you can figure out whether it's in /etc/profile or ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile and figure out how to fix it. Are there spaces in your Windows username? cheers, DaveK -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
