Thank you, Alex for your kind help.<br><br>Actually, I also suspected some troubles due to coexisting Cygwin and MSYS.<br><br>That is why I removed Cygwin from my machine before the installing of MinGW and MSYS.<br><br>I removed some registry values using 'regedit' and then delete the 'c:\Cygwin' folder manually.<br> <br>In my guess, '<b>rebase</b>' is a Cygwin command.<br><br>In MSYS command window, 'rebase' command cannot be found according to 'sh'.<br><br>Hope anyone knows something about this<br><br>Regard,<br> <br>Lewis I.
