Cygwin has two ROOT tree strcutures and the old one is not the default anymore.

[Donat-Pierre Luigi]

Thanks Larry,

This seems easy enough.  I was about to run setup to follow your hunch of 
the 1st email you sent me.  Also, I was reading about "rebase" in same post.
You are right, I was distracted, I am so used to see the select the loacl 
package directory selction on the 4th page, I must have added download to 
the rood path in the 3rd page.  I am glad there is way to repair this 
without re-installing everything.  We learn every day.
I'll try this later this afternoon, here in Los Angeles, CA.
Good evening to you in MA
Donat
