Hi, I have this weird problem with pwd in the latest Cygnus installation. I mentioned it last week; here's a simple shell session that demonstrates the problem: administrator@NDEV04C ~ $ pwd /cygdrive/d/home/steve administrator@NDEV04C ~ $ cd .. administrator@NDEV04C ~/.. $ pwd /cygdrive/d/home/steve/.. administrator@NDEV04C ~/.. $ cd steve administrator@NDEV04C ~/../steve $ pwd /cygdrive/d/home/steve/../steve administrator@NDEV04C ~/../steve $ cd ../steve administrator@NDEV04C ~/../steve/../steve $ pwd /cygdrive/d/home/steve/../steve/../steve administrator@NDEV04C ~/../steve/../steve $ Notice that the problem is not just with the prompt string; that's just a symptom. The real problem is with pwd. (Actually, I think it might be with the way cd sets the $PWD var.) Anyway, if anyone else is having this problem, I came up with a really kludgy work-around, which I put in my .bashrc: alias pwd="perl -e 'use Cwd; print cwd() . \"\n\"'" export PS1='`pwd`$ ' Obviously you must have Perl installed for this to work. Any insight into this problem would be greatly appreciated. Steve Molitor smolitor@erac.com -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
