I tried to verify that, so I did [1a] On a cygwin prompt echo $PATH | grep -i msys [1b] On a msys prompt echo $PATH | grep -i cyg And got no conflicting results. (msys is not in the cygwin path, and cygwin is not in the msys path). [2] 'mount' only showed cygdrive on a cygwin prompt, and only msys on a msys prompt [3] Looked for a 'msys' string in a random binary in the path: [3a] On a msys prompt: strings `which ls.exe` | grep -i msys gave me msys hits. [3b] on a cygwin prompt: strings `which ls.exe` | grep -i msys gave me no hits. So it at least appears to me that the environments are not conflicting for me personally. Of course, that could very well be the case for the error results of the original poster. PS: if anyone knows of better tests/checks to see if the environments are intermingled in some way, I'd love to hear it. - Maarten
