Ach! I'm sorry, I've found the culprit of my problem. I recently installed a program which required the Cygwin toolset and I mistakenly let the installer of that program install his own version of Cygwin. The mount points in the registry got changed and everything that should have went in /bin was installed into that program Cygwin directory.
I have uninstalled that program (will reinstall it correctly later) and reinstalled Cygwin and now everything works :) > -----Message d'origine----- > De : French, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Envoyé : 16 novembre, 2003 01:42 > À : 'François-Denis Gonthier' > Objet : RE: No /bin directory [Executable Attachment Stripped] > > > "MMS <intuit.com>" made the following annotations. > -------------------------------------------------------------- > ---------------- > Executable Attachment(s) Stripped > > Please note: Corporate mail policy dictates that executable > attachment types are not allowed in incoming messages.
