bash doesn't get installed as /bin/sh, it gets installed as /bin/bash.

The "ash" package (a Bourne shell clone) is the one that actually gets
installed as /bin/sh.  So if you didn't install ash*.tar.gz, you've
likely not got a /bin/sh.

What we've done to get around this is install the "bash" package, but
not the "ash" package, and then we:

cp -p /bin/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe

and that ensures that we are always running bash and that /bin/sh
is always there.  We've standardized on BASH for our purposes here,
so this is acceptable practice for our environment.

YMMV.

I ungraded my cygwin on my Win2k system. It now can't find sh.
I did not do anything but run the setup and accept the packages that needed
to be upgraded.

I was working on building tcl and when I went back into the directory to run
the configure script I got the following message.

$ ./configure --enable-gcc
bin/bash .configure: bad interpreter: no such file or directory.

What appears to be going on is that the pathing has changed and /bin/sh is
no longer valid.
Any ideas??
