You've got something installed incorrectly then. If they are showing as .lnk files to ls then that means they have the incorrect attributes set and aren't being recognised as symlinks but instead regular files. These .lnk files should have the 'R' attribute and should appear as symlinks to ls, i.e. ls -l should show: lrwxrwxrwx 1 brian Users 21 Sep 22 2004 bin -> ../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 brian Users 16 Sep 22 2004 include -> ../include/mingw/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 brian Users 12 Sep 22 2004 lib -> ../lib/mingw/ If you had attached the requested cygcheck -srv output, I would be able to look and see what kind of filesystem you have your /usr on, and maybe that would have given more clues as to what's wrong here, but since you didn't, I can't.
