You're missing stuff for some reason. > Ok I did that. There was still no "gcc" in /bin. However I did find the files "set-gcc-default-3.sh" and "set-gcc-default-4.sh" there. I invoked "./sh set-gcc-default-3.sh" from the bin directory inside cygwin. The command ran but there is still no gcc file in /bin and I cannot run gcc from cygwin. I just reinstalled cygwin today. I deleted the old folder and ran the setup.exe from scratch. The previous cygwin installation did not always have the missing gcc problem. Maybe something remaining from my old installation has caused the current cygwin to not install correctly? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Cygwin-doesn%27t-install-gcc-even-though-I-select-it-tp28032216p28034670.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
