I'd wager you don't have permission to access something. Unlike your namesake, we're not blessed with divine insight (although Dave Korn occasionally makes me wonder), so if you want a more helpful answer, you need to post a *much* more helpful report: > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html This link is attached to every post, but I notice that nabble in their wisdom remove it. This probably goes some way to explaining why a high proportion of inadequately reported problems seems to come from nabble users. As well as *attaching* the output of cygcheck -svr, you need to tell us what "certain executables" are. So we can see what it is trying to access, you should also attach the output of running: strace xgettext Also useful might be the output of the following commands: ls -l $(type -p xgettext) cacls $(cygpath -w $(type -p xgettext.exe)) cygcheck xgettext If you see "EACCES" in the strace output, look at the file that was being accessed and run the following commands on it: ls -ld filename cacls filename When including the output of commands, please use copy and paste, and include the output *in full*, otherwise you will almost certainly mistype something and/or miss out the important bit.
