My mounting structure is as follows: Device Directory Type Flags e: /e native text!=binary d: /d native text!=binary c: /c native text!=binary c:\cygnus\cygwin-b20\usr\bin /bin native text!=binary c:\cygnus\cygwin-b20 / native text!=binary When I cd into / and execute "tar zxvf e:/gnu/Downloads/gcc-2.95.2-cygb20.tar.gz ", I get the following error: tar (grandchild): Cannot execute remote shell: No such file or directory tar (grandchild): Cannot open archive e:/gnu/Downloads/gcc-2.95.2-cygb20.tar.gz: I/O error tar (grandchild): Error is not recoverable: exiting now gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors What have I set up incorrectly in bash? -----Original Message----- From: Earnie Boyd [ mailto:earnie_boyd@yahoo.com ] Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2000 9:18 AM To: Boyer,Galen; 'cygwin@sourceware.cygnus.com' Subject: RE: Making GCC 2.95.2 Problems Sorry, I was unaware that the link at sourceware was to the ftp directory.
