I don't know if SN was compiled for CYGWIN, or as a native WIN32 program (tip: look at the DLLs needed by SN; if you don't find cygwin1.dll then SN is a pure WIN32 program). If SN is a pure WIN32 program then he will not be able to find /usr/bin/rm, as this file, when viewed from Windows, is "C:\cygwin\usr\bin\rm", assuming you installed cygwin in "C:\cygwin" as the installer propose it. You must then put "C:\cygwin\usr\bin" in your Windows path, so that SN will be able to find the cygwin tools. HTH Bernard PS: Note that with old versions of Cygwin (back to the B20 era), this was not a problem as cygwin installed in the C: root directory by default; you also can install newer cygwins there, although you get bored by the installer that will insist that this is "not recommended", while I never understand what the problem may be (and I'm using it installed there without any problem for quite a long time). > > /usr/bin is in both my cygwin and windows path, ie.
