Hello

I just downloaded the cygwin version linked to from the main homepage. First thing I try to 
do is compile and run a simple Hello World program.

When I try to compile gcc says:

gcc: installation problem, cannot exec 
`/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe': Permission 
denied

gcc -s works.
running as.exe works too. (Running as.exe on the file gcc -s generates gives me an a.out 
that gives some really wierd output, but that's not the point.)

I removed my installation and tried again. Same problem

Downloaded putty source and tried to compile. Same problem.

Is this a big flaw in the package, or is my computer just really wierd?
I have my cygwin installation on a network-mounted drive.



Really. There sould be an #cygwin irc channel somewhere. Might decrease the amout of crap on 
this list.
