no such file or directory, sh

no such file or directory, sh

Hi to everyone,

When I try to invoke certain cedet/semantic functions (like semantic-
symref-symbol) the following message appears in minibuffer  "Searching
for program: no such file or directory, sh"
It seams to me like a general emacs question rather than package
specific, so that's why I'm asking it here.
Is there any customization variable that should be set?
I searched net and this group but to no avail.

I am using Emacs 23.1 (from ftp.gnu.org) on Windows XP with CEDET
1.0pre7. The same happens with Emacs 23.2-pretest end its built-in
CEDET.

Thank you.

Do you have `sh' installed on your system, and is it on your path?

I do not have sh.exe installed, although I have most of the gnuwin32
utils and they are on path. I could not find sh.exe or some similar in
gnuwin32. However I took sh.exe from MSYS and it solved the problem. I
thought there is some solution inside emacs, this solution is
satisfactory too.

Thank you Paul.
