Maybe so, but you also got a CR lineending in there, which is why the error message wrote over itself in that characteristic way. You probably edited /etc/profile or one of the other scripts using notepad/wordpad/similar. To figure out exactly where, open a cmd.exe shell, cd into your cygwin bin dir, and run "bash --login -i -x". You should be able to follow what's getting invoked when that way; then just run d2u on the offending script. 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/
