I found a few similar problems in your mail archives, but I did not quickly find the problem I'm having. Attached is cygcheck output as requested. A few days ago, as a normal user on my MS Windows box, I went to cygwin.com and ran setup.exe to install things, for "just me". Everything seemed to go OK. When I ran the shortcut, it brought up a bash. First time up it did some setup. Things worked. Then I decided to install it for everyone. I deleted all the cygwin stuff I could find from my directories. Then, from an Admin account, I went to cygwin.com again, ran setup.exe again, and chose "For everyone" and put things under c:\cygwin. Again, everything seemed to go OK. But when I, as the original user, try the newly installed shortcut on my desktop, I get bash.exe: warning: could not find /tmp, please create! bash-3.1$ complaint. The other reports I found seem to indicate it gets further than I get. At first, I thought the entire installation must have gone south, somehow. But... if I login as a different (and non-admin) user, the first time I click on the Cygwin shortcut on that different user's desktop, it does its first-time bash setup and works. I've been trying to find some file or some shred of data that got left over and undeleted from my first (and personal) installation that could be polluting or distracting the for-everyone installation. I've tried running the batch commands by hand from a command shell, with the same result. Is there an option to bash to have it dump out a lot more of what it is doing. I already tried -v. `pwd` indicates I'm in /usr/bin. But no commands seem to work. `echo ~` indicates I'm in my Windows homedir, not my cygwin homedir, and this is a difference with the other users. But how and/or why? And how to I fit it? I can't seem to run any non-builtin program; I always get file not found, even with explicit pathnames, absolute and relative to `pwd`. I was able to do `set > ~/foo.txt` from as me (David) and have attached that as well. Also attached (the ...2 versions) are the cygcheck and set from a user that works. Maybe somebody can find the crucial difference and tell me how to fix it? I use Linux daily for work; my Windows skills are minimal. Any clues? Thanks, David whathappensif@earthlink.net
