You seem to be missing '/usr/bin' and '/usr/lib'. There was talk about some of this changing though in my up-to-date installation, I still have them so I'm not sure where this stands. In any case, it suggests that you may want to try add the following to your '/etc/fstab' file: c:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib some_fs binary 0 0 c:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin some_fs binary 0 0 If that doesn't work, maybe just try rerunning 'setup.exe' and select "Reinstall" for the "All" category. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
