Error running gcc ("No such file or directory" error for as.e xe)

[James.Beard@oxinst.co.uk]

Hi again,

Apologies on not attaching the cygcheck file. I did the cygcheck and then
omitted to attach it. This time I have. 

The version of cygwin that I am using is the very latest: 1.5.18-1.

Permissions on each component of the path to as.exe are as follow:

getfacl /usr
# file: /usr
# owner: jbeard
# group: mkgroup-l-d
user::rwx
group::r-x
other:r-x
mask:rwx

getfacl /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/ 
# file: /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/
# owner: jbeard
# group: mkgroup-l-d
user::rwx
group::r-x
other:r-x
mask:rwx

getfacl /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin
# file: /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin
# owner: jbeard
# group: mkgroup-l-d
user::rwx
group::r-x
other:r-x
mask:rwx

getfacl /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe
# file: /usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe
# owner: jbeard
# group: mkgroup-l-d
user::rwx
group::r-x
other:r-x
mask:rwx

Currently the $CYGWIN environment variable does not seem to be set at all.
Do I just set it to have the value "notraverse" and then try again?

Thanks,
James.
