I had used Cygwin happily for many month. Now I wanted to update it and it does not work anymore. For example, when I click on the Cygwin Icon to start a bash shell, it first displays the error messages
: No such file or directory : No such file or directory : command not found : command not found and then doesn't find any programs (i.e. I can't do a ls, cat, or whatsoever): bash-3.1$ ls bash: ls: command not found The programs *are* right there in C:\cygwin\bin, but an echo $PATH revealed that this directory is not in the PATH: bash-3.1$ echo $PATH /c/Program Files/CatPC/Bin:/c/Program Files/CatPC/Windows/System32:/c/WINNT/syst em32:/c/WINNT:/c/WINNT/System32/Wbem:/c/Program Files/Employee Services/:/c/Prog ram Files/IDM computer/UltraEdit10.10c:/c/Program Files/IXOS/bin:/c/SWS4/NTBIN bash-3.1$ I guess the PATH is supposed to be set in /etc/profile, but when I check C:\cygwin\etc, there is no profile. Interestingly, csh.cshrc and csh.login *are* there. Here is how I had performed the cygwin update: First I reloaded setup.exe from the Cygwin website, to get the most recent version of setup. Then I executed setup. When setup asked me where to put the cygwin directory etc., I always kept the default values. After I had observed that my bash doesn't work anymore, I repeated the setup, to give it a chance to cleanup any inconsistencies, but it didn't change anything.
