I'm trying to guess what you did, based on your cygcheck output and the 
path you showed in an earlier post.  It looks like you installed cygwin 
in C:\Programs\Cygwin, then copied C:\Programs\Cygwin\bin into C:\bin, 
and then put the latter at the beginning of your path.  Is that correct? 
  If so, I'm not surprised that cygwin programs aren't working as you 
expect and that cygcheck can't find your installed packages.

P.S. Please reply only to the list, not to both me and the list.
