Hi Simon,

Cygwin will later automatically translate to its representation for Cygwin programs. That conversion from DOS conventions to Cygwin conventions is not prepared to handle a PATH variable that already is in Cygwin format. So this line should be PATH d:\cygwin\bin;d:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;d:\cygwin\usr\local\bin IOW, "PATH" is a command (you can also use "SET PATH=..."), the separator is ";" and you need to use the Windows paths, not the Cygwin mounts. so long, benny
