How do I run shell?

Sorry, I'm not that good at interpreting setup log files.  Perhaps 
others can help.  I'm assuming c:\foo exists locally.  I'm a bit 
concerned by messages like "compress_bz::error called" but that might
be fine.  Better info would be the output of cygcheck -s -r -v.  That
I can read *and* interpret.  Did my suggestion regarding editting 
cygwin.bat help?

Thanks. But I don't know what the proper directory is. Under my install 
directory, the only directories are lib, release, tmp, usr.
My setup.log file is below. I've been installing and re-installing 
repeatedly.
