Folks I could really use some help here. I still cannot get the ls command to work reliably.
Well, I ran sum -r (I'm running cygwin 1.5.24): ~$ sum -r /bin/ls.exe /bin/cygwin1.dll 08756 96 /bin/ls.exe 59473 1830 /bin/cygwin1.dll You might do the same and see if there is perhaps a different ls being run. You could also try fully qualifying the path to ls: /bin/ls --color=none /bin A portion of my cygcheck -svr shows: Cygwin DLL version info: DLL version: 1.5.24 DLL epoch: 19 DLL bad signal mask: 19005 DLL old termios: 5 DLL malloc env: 28 API major: 0 API minor: 156 Shared data: 4 DLL identifier: cygwin1 Mount registry: 2 Cygnus registry name: Cygnus Solutions Cygwin registry name: Cygwin Program options name: Program Options Cygwin mount registry name: mounts v2 Cygdrive flags: cygdrive flags Cygdrive prefix: cygdrive prefix Cygdrive default prefix: Build date: Wed Jan 31 10:57:51 CET 2007 CVS tag: cr-0x5f1 Shared id: cygwin1S4 I would wager that something is really hosed on your system, since none of the rest of us seem to have this problem.
