What does: c:\cygwin\bin\cygcheck c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe show? It will probably show that you're missing some basic dlls which, for some reason, will need to be (re)installed. You can find the packages which hold the missing dlls by going to http://cygwin.com/packages/ and searching for them. Once found use the setup.exe reinstall option to install them if setup thinks they are already installed. cgf -- 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
