Looks like invalid installation. My IMHO is as follows:
0) Read carefully "Setting up GHC on Win32 platforms" by Sigbjorn Finne on GHC WWW
page. Your primary goal is to get cygwin32 be correctly installed.
1) Be shure you have cygwin version 20.1 installed. If not, uninstall installed
cygwin, get cygwin 20.1 (The main WWW page for the Cygwin project is
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/. A page containing tool-specific information is
http://www.cygnus.com/pubs/gnupro/. Links to additional documentation are accessible
from the main web page. ). Also you should get EGCS-1.1.2 for cygwin binaries to
replace GCC and brothers.
2) Read Cygwin FAQ and User Manual (see Cygwin homepage).
3) You should start bash via batch file cygnus.bat only
(h:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\cygnus.bat).
This file should contain environment variable PATH (e.g, SET
PATH=h:\cygnus\cygwin~1\H-i586~1\bin;%PATH%) that sets cygnus bin directory in the
first place, among other variables (see FAQ and installation instructions).
4) You should have (create) directories /usr, /bin, /var (/var/log), /etc. The bin
directory should contain sh.exe (that is, in general, copy of bash.exe). Or, you can
create symbolic link for /bin to be as /cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin (I have,
e.g., such link).
5) Check your mounts: say "mount" at bash prompt and check output. You should have (in
your case) root directory be mounted as H:\\.
6) Remeber that Windows 95/98 is not the best choice to run cygwin (mostly, due to
poor Win32 API). Windows NT 4.0 (SP3 or SP4, SP standing for Service Pack) would be
better.
7) If you can't solve the problem, you should run "cygcheck -s -v -r" at bash prompt
and send the output with the description of your problem to "someone who can help" (if
I can I will try).
8) If "someone" can't help you, you can subscribe to cygwin mail list (see FAQ) to ask
about it.
Good luck and Best Wishes,
Michael
P.S. By the way, I had Windows95 (afterwards Windows98) installed previously and there
were problems with cygwin. Now I have NT 4.0 SP4 installed and no Windows9x-like
problems.
