Subject: Re: Help with Ruby under cygwin

more:

so a default install of cygwin produces mount locations as follows.

 $ mount -m
mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"
mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib"
mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin" "/"
mount -f -s -b "C:/cygwin/home" "/home"
mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix "/cygdrive"

Note /bin  and /usr/bin are the same.

So somethign must be configured differently for it to work.
Any ideas?
