Then I tried to compile a Perl Module called GD and I get this error: gcc: command not found I've never had this problem before the upgrade to 1.7. Then I checked for gcc in various bin directories but all I see is this: (1005) foo:~ $ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc* -rwxr-xr-x 2 LUPEY Administrators 94741 2009-02-25 05:14 /usr/bin/gcc-3.exe* -rwxr-xr-x 3 LUPEY Administrators 1223182 2009-12-11 03:24 /usr/bin/gcc-4.exe* I also noticed various other compiler names were missing like cpp, and g++. Here is a long listing of these files: (1015) foo:~ $ ls -l /usr/bin/g++* -rwxr-xr-x 1 LUPEY Administrators 96789 2009-02-25 05:14 /usr/bin/g++-3.exe* -rwxr-xr-x 4 LUPEY Administrators 1225742 2009-12-11 03:24 /usr/bin/g++-4.exe* (1016) foo:~ $ ls -l /usr/bin/cpp* -rwxr-xr-x 1 LUPEY Administrators 96277 2009-02-25 05:14 /usr/bin/cpp-3.exe* -rwxr-xr-x 1 LUPEY Administrators 1224718 2009-12-11 03:23 /usr/bin/cpp-4.exe* It seems that maybe the various symbolic links to these executables were not created upon the upgrade to 1.7.1. So, then I tried to uninstall and then reinstall gcc-core (gcc-core-3.4.4-999.tar.bz2) and gcc-g++ (gcc-g++-3.4.4-999.tar.bz2). But this failed to work since the output I show above is what I did after the reinstallation. Any ideas on what I should try next? I'm about ready to backup my existing installation and try to create a whole brand-new cygwin installation.
