After installing 1.7.7 command ls is null

[Jørgen Steensgaard]

Hi

I have just installed 1.7.7 after several unsuccessful attempts. 
Several auxiliary libraries were not included in the installation after 
setup finished.  OK -- so I had to locate and rerun setup repeatedly.

At some point I succeeded in having a terminal running with a 
bash-shell. It was probably my own fault not to have 'find' and 'sed' 
included, since that obviously is supposed to be common knowledge.

Finally with the terminal running the shell -- including, finally, usual 
command editing facilities -- one problem remains

   ls gives me no reaction at all :-(

I can type other commands and get the expected behaviour, but not ls -- 
and who knows what others.

Quite an experience!  With patience I might become as pleased with 1.7 
as with a 1.5 on another machine.

Any suggestions?  I include a cygcheck.out, the generation of which 
followed the message:

     garbled output from 'id' command - no uid= found

Sincerely

Jørgen Steensgaard
