First let me appologise for the bad subject line and lack of explicit
content. I realise the importance of following forum guidelines and I shall
try to be clearer, at least within my ability.
As mentioned at the beginning of my post, though perhaps not so clearly as I
should. Cgywin was provided with a simulator called omnet++. I have read
the omnet++ documentation and asked questions on forums but was still unable
to resolve the issue.
Regarding one of the resolutions to the possible cause by space in user
name: there doesn't appear to be a passwd file in etc directory, so I
cannot change that. Perhaps, as suggested, I should create a new windows
user name without spaces and login as that person. But I guess I would have
to recreate the directory structure over again for me to be the owner. Is
this what the post about spaces is suggesting?
Regarding the container directory: Directory owner is me and group is
Administrators. This is the same for all files and directories I have every
looked at.
Regarding FAT, this is the integral C: drive and it is formatted NTFS. I
think I did mention this, but I may have used wrong terminology or not been
explicit. Sorry.
Regarding reporting guidlines and running pre-checks:
My disk is indexed and a search for cygcheck.* revealed nothing. I am not
sure from where I should run cygcheck.
I feel I have probably again left some obvious error in my post or have
missed something obvious on the site, but it is not intentional and I
appologise in advance. I have been looking at this on my own for a long
time. I guess it's jusy inexperience.
