I installed some packages such as gcc4, util-linux, ncurses devel, pcre devel, openssl devel, zlib devel, mintty etc. Some Info: -My machine is a Toshiba L505 Satellit running Windows 7 Ultimate. -My programming experiance is limited to MATLAB Now my problem is that I get the response "command not found" for any commands other than echo on/off. I googled my heart away and found some articles that I think are related, as a result I added a path to cygwins bin by going through control panel. I didnt seem to work. Some issues I found in common with others on the web is that typing -sh-3.2# ls -sh: ls: command not found -sh-3.2# Refering to a discussion on ls responding with "command not found" (http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-10/msg00136.html) I looked in my bin to see if ls is there...it is! I looked in my bin to see if fileutls is there...its NOT and I couldnt find it on the packages list. Looking at the packages list I found that fileutls is located in the package coreutils and when I went to update cygwin it gives me the option of keeping this package...which means I have it, so what am I doing wrong. Some other thoughts, typing ls...like I stated earlier yields the response command not found... but ls/ lists the files I see in bin.....so does /usr/bin/ls. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/%22command-not-found%22-For-All-Commands-tp28722920p28722920.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
