I don't think that was the question. If you note at the end of his message, he gives the command invocation, which included that string in --prunepaths. That is, it's not the "permission denied" that's raising issues, but rather that the exact string passed to --prunepaths is still being searched. (I believe he escaped the space characters but I could be misremembering.) Likewise for some of the other paths in the report. They should already be discarded via --prunepaths, but they're being searched anyhow, producing various secondary errors. -phil -- 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/
