I actually need to specify a file within the directory. I wasn't aware that would make a difference. For the record, I do have read/write permission in the directory, and the directory does exist!! I am executing the program within the ~/SuperHirn/make directory and this is where the file I am specifying also resides. I do not know for sure if this program evens runs under Cygwin, it was meant for UNIX/Linux, I'm just trying to get it working. I tried a few more iterations and nothing wants to work, very frustrating. Any more suggestions? Install Linux in a dual boot system??
