I'd wager you don't have permission to access something.


Unlike your namesake, we're not blessed with divine insight
(although Dave Korn occasionally makes me wonder), so if you want 
a more helpful answer, you need to post a *much* more helpful 
report:

> Problem reports:       http://cygwin.com/problems.html

This link is attached to every post, but I notice that nabble in 
their wisdom remove it.  This probably goes some way to explaining 
why a high proportion of inadequately reported problems seems to 
come from nabble users.


As well as *attaching* the output of cygcheck -svr, you need to 
tell us what "certain executables" are.  So we can see what it is 
trying to access, you should also attach the output of running:

  strace xgettext

Also useful might be the output of the following commands:

 ls -l $(type -p xgettext)
 cacls $(cygpath -w $(type -p xgettext.exe))
 cygcheck xgettext

If you see "EACCES" in the strace output, look at the file that
was being accessed and run the following commands on it:
 ls -ld filename
 cacls filename

When including the output of commands, please use copy and paste,
and include the output *in full*, otherwise you will almost 
certainly mistype something and/or miss out the important bit.

Phil
