[SDL] Re: Help installing SDL Please

[Karl Garrison]

I have this problem on my NT machine at work, and although I never
solved it, I know it's related to the fact that /bin/sh cannot be
found.  Try doing "ls /bin" from the bash prompt, and see if it
complains about not being able to find /bin (even though it is listed if
you do "ls /").

I think in my case it has to do with a previous Cygwin installation that
has since been removed.  Bash is likely using a registry setting to
determine where /bin is, but the path no linger exists on my machine. 
I'm not sure what to look for in the registry to fix it, however.
