Re: file missing when trying to use gcc

[Randall R Schulz <rrschulz at cris dot com>]

Allan,

We'll go you one better and show you how to find this out for yourself:

        <http://cygwin.com/packages/>

Here's a hint. To find binary executables include the ".exe" suffix. This 
is especially helpful if the name for which you're searching is short and 
might well appear as a substring in other file names included in some 
Cygwin package.

Also note that the server that handles these look-ups is often rather slow 
or burdened, so be patient when you query.

Good luck.

P.S. I wish I could help you with your malfunctioning shift key, but you'll 
have to fix that all on your own.
