I just installed Cygwin on an IBM laptop running Windows XP. Whenever I bring up a Cygwin shell, I get the following error: bash: /etc/profile: line 196: syntax error: unexpected end of file I don't see any problem with /etc/profile: 190 echo "mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd" 191 echo "mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group" 192 echo 193 echo "This message is only displayed once (unless you recreate /etc/group)" 194 echo "and can be safely ignored." 195 196 # only display the above once 197 cp -f /etc/group ${HOME}/group.mkgroup_l_d \ 198 && ( [ -w /etc/group ] || chmod --silent a+w /etc/group ; )\ 199 && sed -e 's/^mkgroup_l_d/mkgroup-l-d/' ${HOME}/group.mkgroup_l_d > /etc/group \ In fact, this /etc/profile file is identical to the /etc/profile files in other Cygwin installations I have done recently, and do not generate the error quoted above. Can someone tell me how to fix this problem?
