If you look in a cmd.exe shell or explorer, there shouldn't be anything in the bin or lib directory[*] in C:\cygwin\usr (or whereever you installed), in fact they don't really even need to exist. [*] - In fact it would be bad if anything was there because it would be hidden by the mountpoint shadowing the real directory. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
