Hi!
I made a program that adds something to my Path variable if it's not
already there (the path to my self-compiled native windows emacs binary)
and now something seems messed up because now I can't use, for example,
ping.exe anymore. It still lives in c:\WINDOWS\system32, however.
Here's my cycheck.out attached, anyone see anything funny? Can't use
ping.exe from cmd.com either so I guess it's not specifically related to
cygwin but the path altering program was developed under cygwin and I
use bash for all of my command line needs.
I just tried my laptop, and there ping.exe is found without problems.
They have similar package selection, but not identical (I can post its
cygcheck.out if you want). One thing I did on my main machine was
running setup.exe while bash was running (careless, I know) and it
downloaded and installed a new rebase. It didn't say anything about
in-use files being replaced but I have rebooted my main machine anyway.
Don't know if that messed anything up anyway?
