Now when i try to run emacs from the cygwin console it says bash:
/usr/bin/emacs :permission denied.
I am not able to run emacs now.
I am using emacs 23.

Please send questions to the mailing list, not to me personally.


I don't know what you mean by "emacs system file". But my best guess is that you accidentally messed up the permissions on some file. For starters, you could try 'ls -l /usr/bin/emacs*' and see if the permissions look right. Or you could just rerun setup.exe and reinstall the emacs package.
