^^^^^^^^
It took downloading Numeric and NumTut, building and installing Numeric,
and reproducing the error to realize what should have been obvious (to
me) from the above. Sigh... :,(
The problem is that the standard Cygwin distribution includes a Win32
TCL and not a Cygwin version. Hence, it is does not understand Cygwin
style (i.e., Posix) paths, mounts, symlinks, etc.
Until a Cygwin TCL is included in the distribution, you can use the
following cygpath workaround:
$ TMP=$(cygpath -w $TMP) python Python 2.2.1 (#1, Jun 25 2002, 10:55:46)
[GCC 2.95.3-5 (cygwin special)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
