Not without some more info!!  Exactly how did you create the symbolic link in
your root directory?  While you're at it paste the output of `cygcheck -s -v
-r' to the mail or attach a plain text file.

Hi!

I have my cygwin directories set up in the default structure, but have
created a symbolic link /bin in my root directory, so for all intents and
purposes, sh is /bin/sh- however, when I try to run a script from
/usr/local/whatever, I get the error "cannot execute /bin/sh"!

Does anyone know why this is happening?  Or what I should do to correct
this?

Thanx,

da Baron

Hi!

I have my cygwin directories set up in the default structure, but have
created a symbolic link /bin in my root directory, so for all intents and
purposes, sh is /bin/sh- however, when I try to run a script from
/usr/local/whatever, I get the error "cannot execute /bin/sh"!

Does anyone know why this is happening?  Or what I should do to correct
this?

Thanx,

da Baron
