Hi. I just installed Cygwin on an IBM laptop running Windows XP.
Whenever I bring up a Cygwin shell, I get the following error:
bash: /etc/profile: line 196: syntax error: unexpected end of file
I don't see any problem with /etc/profile:
190 echo "mkpasswd -l -d > /etc/passwd"
191 echo "mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group"
192 echo
193 echo "This message is only displayed once (unless you recreate
/etc/group)"
194 echo "and can be safely ignored."
195
196 # only display the above once
197 cp -f /etc/group ${HOME}/group.mkgroup_l_d \
198 && ( [ -w /etc/group ] || chmod --silent a+w /etc/group ; )\
199 && sed -e 's/^mkgroup_l_d/mkgroup-l-d/' ${HOME}/group.mkgroup_l_d >
/etc/group \
In fact, this /etc/profile file is identical to the /etc/profile files
in other Cygwin installations I have done recently, and do not
generate the error quoted above.
Can someone tell me how to fix this problem?
Thanks!

Maybe it's just me, but this line:
199 && sed -e 's/^mkgroup_l_d/mkgroup-l-d/' ${HOME}/group.mkgroup_l_d >
/etc/group \
looks strikingly suspicious. Are there lines following 199 or does that end? If
you notice, at the end of the line is the \ character which tells the
interpreter to expect another line. if you're missing it, it could be the cause
of an unexpected EOF error.
