/usr/share isn't mounted separately, at least in any Cygwin installation I've ever had. It's just a directory within /usr, which is within the mount /. Moreover /usr/share should always exist, since many base packages store files in it. Does it not exist in your installation? Do you have e.g. /usr/share/doc? -- 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
