Re: Can't find ping.exe, path is messed up

Hi!

I made a program that adds something to my Path variable if it's not already there (the path to my self-compiled native windows emacs binary) and now something seems messed up because now I can't use, for example, ping.exe anymore. It still lives in c:\WINDOWS\system32, however.

Here's my cycheck.out attached, anyone see anything funny? Can't use ping.exe from cmd.com either so I guess it's not specifically related to cygwin but the path altering program was developed under cygwin and I use bash for all of my command line needs.

I just tried my laptop, and there ping.exe is found without problems. They have similar package selection, but not identical (I can post its cygcheck.out if you want). One thing I did on my main machine was running setup.exe while bash was running (careless, I know) and it downloaded and installed a new rebase. It didn't say anything about in-use files being replaced but I have rebooted my main machine anyway. Don't know if that messed anything up anyway?
