Thanks for your help. I have fixed the Windows path but Cygwin seems to=20
be altering it when loading it in to its own $PATH environment variable.=20
Compare below, my path as obtained from Windows cmd console and from=20
Cygwin. Notice the line 'C:\cygwin\bin' in the first one (end of the second=
=20
line) has been turned in to '/usr/bin' in the second one (end of the third=
=20
line). Why would this be happening? Also, is it a problem that the first tw=
o=20
entries in the Cygwin path are '/usr/...' rather than '/cygdrive/c/cygwin/u=
sr/...' ?=20
