Note to the Cygwin-XFree86 team:
I have Cygwin and XFree86 installed, and I was getting annoying messages
of the form
Grep: command not found
every time I started up a tcsh shell. I finally tracked the problem
down to
the file /etc/profile.d/00xfree.csh. This script apparently executes
before
all other login scripts and is intended to put /usr/X11R6/bin on your path.
Unfortunately it includes this line:
eval "echo ${PATH} | grep -q ${X11PATH}"
Because it's executing so early on, the PATH hasn't been properly set up
yet,
and grep was not being found.
By replacing "grep" with "/bin/grep", the problem was resolved. This had
already been done in the file 00xfree.sh in the same directory so I'm
surprised
the 00xfree.csh file hadn't been modified too.
