Dear Arianna

do you give the command in the "temp/src" folder? Or possibly even "temp/trunk/src"? In any case, you must be in the "src" subfolder of the ESP-r file system.

Best
Achim

I have put it into a folder in cygwin called temp and I am giving the command ./Install –gcc4 –compiler_version -4 –d /usr/esru to cygwin to launch the installation.  Cygwin says “Install: command not found”, is there anything else i ought to do? Briana sent me a detailed explanation on how to install cygwin and esp-r for windows 7, i don’t have her email address anymore. Could you please put me in contact with her? Thank you for your help,

These pre-compiled versions will generally be made available within a few days of a source code release and will be announced to this e-mail list.
