I just installed cygwin and none of the post-install scripts work after install. I've tried having the cygwin\bin directory at both the front and the end of the path.
After installing cygwin, I found the following details: 1) First time running the shell, threw me to "/usr/bin" when I did a pwd. 2) I tried re-running the base-files-mketc.sh.done script - it failed with "/bin/uname not found". Then I tested "/bin/uname" from the command line and it worked fine. Then instead of running "sh base-files-mketc.sh.done" I ran "bash base-files-mketc.sh.done" and it worked fine. Then I tried to run the rest of the postinstall scripts in the same fashion, before they would work I had to add /usr/bin and /bin to the FRONT of the path. (Otherwise it found the DOS "find" program instead of the Unix "find" program. After all of the postinstall scripts worked successfully, I exited the cygwin shell and started it again. I then got "/etc/profile permission denied" ls -l /etc revealed that all files were owned by the default user and group that installed it. Many permissions were as if someone did a chmod 0 on them. Does anyone have suggestions? I suspect it may be the path, but I'm not sure.
