Hi,

I installed cygwin in my PC. After that, I also wanted to install "The
Jam utility" (http://www.perforce.com/jam/jam.html).  I encountered
some problems and the reason is because the PATH variable (printenv
PATH) contains some Windows-based directories (like:
/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/Programes Files/Common Files/Symbian/Tools)


Huh? Those look like POSIX paths to me.


I tried to run "jam.exe" and the error was "This application has
failed because cygwin1.dll was not found. Re-installing the appication
may fix this problem"

Any suggestion how to remove the space character from the PATH variable?


Sounds to me like the problem is that the directory with 'cygwin1.dll'
in it is missing from your path in whatever shell/console you're
running 'jam.exe' from.  If that's not true, perhaps it's best to back
up and provide us with a step-by-step sequence that reproduces the
problem in context.  Having full path names with spaces in your path
is not a guaranteed problem.
