Alex, John I really appreciate your kind answers. Through those troubles, I could get much understanding of the nature of MSYS and Cygwin. Here is one suggestion regarding 'notes'. Sometimes, commands and menus on certain OS can be little bit confusing to a novice like me ;) As we can see in our Cook Book, screen shots can give us clearer understandings. I understand the demanding works for those getting pictures on notes. But I am sure that can save lots of time and energy of hundreds of users ^^ Always appreciating your helps and supports, Lewis Yook Team Manager, DASS Consultants Ltd.   143-834, Venture Center 304-ho, 632-9 Guui-dong Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, Korea T. 82.2.913.2585 F. 82.2.949.2585 H. <a href="http://www.dasskorea.com">www.dasskorea.com</a> <div class="gmail_quote">2009/5/28 Jon Hand <<a href="mailto:jon@esru.strath.ac.uk">jon@esru.strath.ac.uk</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> The Install command needs a forward slash / rather than a back slash \  within the MSYS environment.  This should result in the correct native windows install for access within the windows explorer. Updated notes for native windows install should be available on the ESRU web site soon. -Jon Hand ________________________________________ From: <a href="mailto:esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk">esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk</a> [<a href="mailto:esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk">esp-r-bounces@lists.strath.ac.uk</a>] On Behalf Of 육인수 [<a href="mailto:yook@dasskorea.com">yook@dasskorea.com</a>] Sent: 28 May 2009 01:28 <div class="im">To: Ferguson, Alex Cc: <a href="mailto:esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk">esp-r@lists.strath.ac.uk</a> </div>Subject: [esp-r] Re: install failure (after getting source code on MSYS) <div class="im"> I got downloaded a rebase.exe file and put it in /msys/1.0/bin. That enabled me to execute the rebase thing and it worked. (It worked in MinGW command prompt) This small success leads to me another challenge ;) Does anyone can check the attached picture and tell me what is going on? I got this screen after running ./Install -d c:\Esru on MSYS command prompt.
