Hello,

I have cygwin installed in the default c:\cygwin location...

I cannot get cygwin to see an executable in my path  -- unless I
change dirs down to the application location or run it with the
absolute path.

This works:
rp AT mycomputer  ~
$  /c/Apps/apache-ant-1.8.0RC1/bin/ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.8.0RC1 compiled on January 5 2010

THIS DOES NOT:
From my home dir:  type "ant" and it is not found.

rp AT mycomputer ~
$ date
Wed Jan 20 20:20:44 PST 2010

rp AT mycomputer ~
$ ant
-bash: ant: command not found

I am using cygwin 1.7.1-1 with the new /etc/fstab file.

Here is my fstab file:
cat /etc/fstab:
   # For a description of the file format, see the Users Guide
   # http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table

   C: /c ntfs binary 0 0
   D: /d ntfs binary 0 0
   # This is default anyway:
   # none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=0,user 0 0

If I am in my home directory and simply type "ant" it is not found.

rp AT mycomputer ~
$ date
Wed Jan 20 20:20:44 PST 2010

rp AT mycomputer ~
$ ant
-bash: ant: command not found

my .bash_profile path looks like:
PATH=$PATH:/c/Apps/apache-ant-1.8.ORC1/bin
export PATH

RUNNING MOUNT...
$ mount
C:/cygwin/bin on /usr/bin type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin/lib on /usr/lib type ntfs (binary,auto)
C:/cygwin on / type ntfs (binary,auto)
C: on /c type ntfs (binary)
D: on /d type unknown (binary)

However if I manually change directories until I get to the path and
run the command from there (verifying the path and executable are in
fact there and I haven't done a typo)  I can execute the command....

rp AT mycomputer ~
$ cd c:

rp AT mycomputer /c
$ cd Apps/

rp AT mycomputer  /c/Apps
$ cd apache-ant-1.8.0RC1/bin

rp AT mycomputer  /c/Apps/apache-ant-1.8.0RC1/bin
$ ./ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.8.0RC1 compiled on January 5 2010
