The basic problem is that I 'cd' to a directory and programs in my path, like 'ls' stop working with a "bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory" error message. The specifics: Here's the mount table: d:\cygwin\home on /home type system (binmode) \cygwin\sbin on /sbin type system (binmode) \cygwin\bin on /bin type system (binmode) \cygwin\etc on /etc type system (binmode) \cygwin\lib on /lib type system (binmode) \cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) \cygwin\tmp on /tmp type system (binmode) \cygwin\usr on /usr type system (binmode) \cygwin\var on /var type system (binmode) C: on /c type system (binmode) D: on / type system (binmode) u: on /cygdrive/u type system (binmode,noumount) Here's my PATH: /usr/bin:/bin:D:/LE/cyberle/tools/Jikes:/Tools/bin: /JDK1.3/bin:/c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS: /c/Program Files/Microsoft SQL Server/80/Tools/Binn:/vslick/win:. If I am anywhere on the D drive, like in / or /cygwin or anything other than /c, things work ok. When I cd to /c, and type 'ls' I get this: bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory More fully, no commands from /bin will work any more. It's as if the /bin directory is no longer available. Fully qualifying the command works, sort of: /bin/ls does not work /cygwin/bin/ls does work If anyone has a solution or an idea to try, I'm open :-) P.S. I am not using the normal installation settings where /cygwin is mounted as / since I have a lot of other directories at the top of my D drive that I want to access from within cygwin. P.P.S: In case this will help, here's the initial output from cygcheck: Cygwin Win95/NT Configuration Diagnostics Current System Time: Mon Jul 22 11:37:17 2002 Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Path: \cygwin\usr\bin \cygwin\bin D D:\LE\cyberle\tools\Jikes D:\Tools\bin D:\JDK1.3\bin C:\WINDOWS\system32 C:\WINDOWS C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn D:\vslick\win .
