Since i want to use cygwin, i run start > "cmd" and i tried to lauch bash from the console: > C:\cygwin\bin>bash.exe --version > > C:\cygwin\bin>bash.exe > > C:\cygwin\bin> I also tried a few (maybe another also works) other executables with the same result. Since i was working on a windows machine, i assumed that i had to reboot the machine, but this didnt influence the results in any way I also tried to see if the application needed the path in anyway or the executable to be started with the current directory specification > C:\cygwin\bin>bash.exe > > C:\cygwin\bin>set PATH=c:\cygwin\bin\ > > C:\cygwin\bin>bash > > C:\cygwin\bin>./bash > '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, > operable program or batch file. > > C:\cygwin\bin>bash.exe > > C:\cygwin\bin> When i look in the taskmanager's processlist, i dont see any cygwin processes running. I was happy to see cygcheck.exe working: > C:\cygwin\bin>cygcheck.exe -c -v -r > Cygwin Package Information > Last downloaded files to: c:\cygwin\download > Last downloaded files from: ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/cygwin > > Package Version Status > _update-info-dir 00328-1 OK > alternatives 1.3.20a-1 OK > ash 20040127-3 OK > base-files 3.6-1 OK > base-passwd 2.2-1 OK > bash 3.0-11 OK > bzip2 1.0.3-1 OK > coreutils 5.3.0-9 OK > crypt 1.1-1 OK > cygrunsrv 1.11-1 OK > cygutils 1.2.9-1 OK > cygwin 1.5.18-1 OK > cygwin-doc 1.4-3 OK > diffutils 2.8.7-1 OK > editrights 1.01-1 OK > findutils 4.2.25-2 OK > gawk 3.1.5-1 OK > gdbm 1.8.3-7 OK > grep 2.5.1a-2 OK > groff 1.18.1-2 OK > gzip 1.3.5-1 OK > less 381-1 OK > libbz2_1 1.0.3-1 OK > libcharset1 1.9.2-1 OK > libgdbm 1.8.0-5 OK > libgdbm-devel 1.8.3-7 OK > libgdbm3 1.8.3-3 OK > libgdbm4 1.8.3-7 OK > libiconv 1.9.2-1 OK > libiconv2 1.9.2-1 OK > libintl 0.10.38-3 OK > libintl1 0.10.40-1 OK > libintl2 0.12.1-3 OK > libintl3 0.14.1-1 OK > libncurses5 5.2-1 OK > libncurses6 5.2-8 OK > libncurses7 5.3-4 OK > libncurses8 5.4-4 OK > libpcre0 6.3-1 OK > libpopt0 1.6.4-4 OK > libreadline4 4.1-2 OK > libreadline5 4.3-5 OK > libreadline6 5.0-4 OK > login 1.9-7 OK > man 1.5p-1 OK > minires 1.00-1 OK > mktemp 1.5-3 OK > ncurses 5.4-4 OK > openssh 4.1p1-2 OK > openssl 0.9.8a-1 OK > openssl097 0.9.7i-1 OK > rsync 2.6.6-1 OK > run 1.1.6-1 OK > sed 4.1.4-1 OK > tar 1.15.1-2 OK > termcap 20050421-1 OK > terminfo 5.4_20041009-1 OK > texinfo 4.8-1 OK > wget 1.9.1-2 OK > which 1.7-1 OK > zlib 1.2.3-1 OK How can i get the executables working?
