Hmm. I'm just re-running the (latest) setup.exe - what else should I do ? In c:\cygwin\bin I found a cygwin1.dll.new with version 1007.9.0.0 as well as one with the right name, version 1007.7.0.0. If I swap to using the 1007.9 one by changing the names, bash stared from the command line just seg faults... Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

I can replicate by just opening a Windows command prompt, run c:\cygwin\bin\bash and then use '/bin/ls' as PATH seems wrong. I normally use a short cut in the start menu that has a 'target' of "C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -geometry 100x50 -sl 1500 -fn "Inconsolata-14" -bg black -fg grey -sr -e c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -i" though. > what is the output of "ls -la ." ? Nothing. "ls -la .[tab]" works as expected though. > Have you problems or messed with the files: > /etc/passwd > /etc/group Nope. I looked in them, and they seem OK. Running 'id' doesn't produce output either, so I guess that is why it's not in the check output. -- Tom -- 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
