I haven't used that software, so these are only suggestions. The Tex Live documentation site has a link titled, "Binaries for i386-cygwin". You apparently installed the win32 version, but maybe that one would be better. Try these under bash: echo "$PATH" Carefully look to insure the path is correct. type xelatex If the 'type' command can't find it, it's a different kind of problem than not being able to execute. chmod +x xelatax Maybe bash doesn't recognize it as an executable. -Ken Jackson -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
