I see it starting to remove emacs (when I tried to uninstall it), but no red flags about failures. > Also, which version of emacs does cygwin think is installed? > > $ cygcheck -c emacs emacs-el ---------------- Cygwin Package Information Package Version Status emacs 23.0.92-2 OK emacs-el 23.0.92-2 OK ---------------- However, "/usr/share/emacs/" only has a "21.2" directory, there is no "/usr/sbin/emacs", and when I try to start emacs-x11, it says this: Warning: arch-dependent data dir (/usr/sbin/emacs/23.0.92/i686-pc-cygwin/) does not exist.
