Any other ideas? > Thanks, > Sieg Well, according to the output of cygcheck, you have two nd.exe's, and c:\util\nd.exe doesn't seem to be the same as c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\nd.exe... The one in c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin seems to have correct DLL dependencies, so that's the one you should use. Judging from the fact that emacs couldn't find /usr/local/bin/nd.exe, I'd say you need to have c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin in your PATH within emacs, too. Or, as I suggested earlier, you could instruct emacs to start bash with a --login (-l) flag. Someone fluent in emacs can probably help you with it better than I.
