So I have uninstalled/reinstalled several times from several mirrors and am still getting the same errors. My condition appears identical to the below. I have attached my setup.log.full file and the bash.exe.stackdump to help. Any progress/aid? Thanks Matt **begin reference** From: Robert Peaslee To: cygwin at cygwin dot com Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2007 19:33:26 -0400 Subject: Re: ls not working on cygwin install on XP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I actually had the same problem just this week, but thought it was Windows Vista specific since I hadn't heard of it before. For some reason the postinstall scripts aren't running correctly, but only sometimes. I know that I got lucky on my third reinstall after a couple of days of attempting to troubleshoot my installation. The packages are all being retrieved, and the directory structure is being created with the exception of /home. Attempting to run the postinstall scripts manually failed for me. I initially got things working by creating the environment by hand (creating /home/<user>, populating it with another installation's .bashrc and .bash_profile) and setting the path to include <install path>/bin. That workaround felt dirty, so I deleted the local cygwin package cache and used another mirror. Things worked fine this time. It is a weird problem and I have no idea why that would fix it. Hope that helps, --Robert Peaslee Christopher Faylor wrote: On Wed, Mar 14, 2007 at 03:44:24PM -0700, Archana wrote: I installed using setup.exe and installed numerous additional packages in the hopes of getting ls on Windows XP. After double clicking on the Cygwin Icon, pwd works but ls does not. I expected ls to work as it is the most basic command available. When I run cygcheck or uname I get the following: bash-3.2$ cygcheck bash: cygcheck: command not found bash: uname: command not found ...which would indicate that, for some reason, your PATH environment variable does not contain "/usr/bin". Save the PATH and save the world. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
