Re: gcc command not found

Hello,

I'm having the same problem with the latest Cygwin install. But for me rerunning the postinstall scripts does not create the symlinks.

Administrator@haco-xyz ~
$ gcc
bash: gcc: command not found

OK, problem solved!
Weird enough the reason was an old version of cygwin1.dll in c:/windows directory which was used by cygwin instead of the one in cygwin-bin-dir (since c:/windows comes first in path variable). No idea where that file came from, but there were even more files in c:/windows from cygwin - those are removed now, and gcc works perfectly!


I found that out by calling C:/cygwin/usr/sbin/alternatives.exe from windows-explorer which then gave me an error window saying that the procedure entry point "__ctype_ptr__" was not found in "cygwin1.dll" so I started searching for cygwin1.dll on my system and found the old version in windows directory.

Best regards,
   Andreas
