When I see an error like that, what I think is "there is no /bin/sh". So, is there a /bin/sh? I don't use cygwin, and I can't help you if there isn't one. A workaround for a missing /bin/sh is to invoke the shell explicitly: bash ../gcc-4.2.4/configure ... You may also need to set the environment variable CONFIG_SHELL to bash, or ideally the absolute pathname of bash. Ian
