instalation in other than c:\


Hi,

I am having problems with the latest cygwin toolkit (net release).

As I installed the toolkit under c:\cygwin and not c:\ I get various
errors.

Is there a way (config file/reg entry or otherwise to tell the tools
where thay are installed?)

An example of the errors follow:

>bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create!

>bash-2.04$ man man
>Warning: cannot open configuration file /usr/lib/man.conf
>No manual entry for man

> bash-2.04$ man -M /cygwin/usr/man man
> Warning: cannot open configuration file /usr/lib/man.conf
> Error executing formatting or display command.
> System command (cd /cygwin/usr/man ; (echo -e ".pl 1100i"; cat /cygwin/usr/man/man1/man.1; echo ".pl \n(nlu+10") | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/groff -Tlatin1 -mandoc | /usr/bin/less -is) exited with status 32512.
> No manual entry for man

I also changed /cygwin/etc/profile to update the man paths etc... but
this does not get read either - which is kind of obvious :-/

If it is only possible with re-conpilation will I be able to get away
with only compiling bash and setting everything else up using specific
env. variables?

Thanks,

	/James
