It sounds like you unpacked the ispell tarball directly on the c:\ drive, and then added c:\usr\local\bin and c:\usr\local\lib to your path. What you need to do is unpack the tarball in cygwin's / directory(probably c:\cygwin). Just copy it there, fire up your shell and do a: ~ cd / ~ tar -xvzf ispell-version.tar.gz This will put it in cygwin's /usr/local/bin directory. Then all you need is PATH_TO_CYGWIN\usr\local\bin in your path. That should work. -- Matt -- Remove the X's to reply directly.
