Now I feel a bit silly for not having thought of that myself. That's precis=
ely what
the problem was - there was no vi or make program installed, which I realis=
ed
when I removed MSYS from the path and tried 'which' again. I've installed b=
oth=20
packages and it's working fine now.

Thanks, everyone, for your help!
