Whereas mine looks like
10/11/2005 04:04 PM <DIR> .
10/11/2005 07:30 AM <DIR> ..
10/11/2005 04:04 PM <DIR> 1.0
0 File(s) O bytes
3 Dir(s) 28,478,042,122 bytes free
Mine has no sign of an exe file so it looks like I
may have found the culprit.
Given that it takes about 40 minutes to load Miktex I
left it installed and got rid of everytiong else but I
have the same result. Again I was using msys1.1.10 (
but I did not rename make.exe -> mingw.32-make.exe)

I have noticed that there is nothing under the TeX
Information. That is LaTex Classes, LaTex styles and
BibTex styles list are all empty
I notice that my Python is older.
