No /bin directory

No /bin directory

[Ghulam Lashari]

I installed Cygwin on Win2000 machine using setup.exe program, but
it does not create /bin directory in the cygwin folder. The installation 
goes smooth and when I try to start the cygwin shell, the DOS window opens 
and immediately closes as there is no /bin directory.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Falch.Net Developers Studio for Palm (v 2.6 I think).  There is a setup
option to install Cygwin or not.  I did not pay attention at first install-.

Can we know the name of this program which required the Cygwin toolset?  I
think it's time that we started adding known offenders to the FAQ.

No /bin directory

[François-Denis Gonthier]

Hello all

Something just happened with my Cygwin installation.  I just had to
reinstall Cygwin from the net because I accidentally broke some things.
Anyway, the reason doesn't matter.

The install went apparently fine until I noticed to absence of the Bin
directory.  I've looked on Google for that problem but found nothing.  I
think post-install scripts that should have been executed weren't.

Is there a way to fix that?  Is there something I should have done that I
didn't?  Is my system broken in any way?

Thank you in advance

François-Denis
