Hi
I just installed cygwin 1.7.1 (with setup.exe) and get a problem with man g=
iving the following error message:

	$ man less
	popen: No such file or directory
	Attempt [/usr/bin/gunzip -c /usr/share/man/man1/less.1.gz] to expand man p=
age failed
	No manual entry for less

I think this is caused by the fact that the shell script "/usr/bin/gunzip" =
is referring to "#!/bin/sh" which does not exist.

There are lots of other scripts in /usr/bin which refers to /bin/sh.

I had expected that sh or a symlink to a suitable shell came bundled with c=
ygwin?
Or have I missed something?
