Your cygcheck output thinks there is: Found: C:\_0\bin\test.exe Warning: C:\_0\local\Scripts\test hides C:\_0\bin\test.exe Found: C:\_0\bin\test.exe Warning: C:\_0\local\Scripts\test hides C:\_0\bin\test.exe Not Found: test Someone is confused here.

I was just suggesting what I had success with in the past and that starting with the simple is usually a good way to troubleshoot problems. > Are you running Vista 64bit?
