after trying the steps a few times over, it appears that my bundles are working now without any knowledge of how it happened. This time I went through and installed Python, Ruby, curl, and some others that they recommended. It's good now - and I'm happy with my editor.

Glad you got it working. The main reason I have never gotten X to run on my Windows machine connected to my Linux machines is because cygwin confuses the daylights out of me!

I have a big cygwin install, and mostly only use it's ssh client, and also gzip a bit. I've had a small amount of success running KDE on it as well. Yeah I don't get a lot of it either, it is very good for filling up your hard drive /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

e text editor / installing
e seems like such a powerful tool. too bad the documentation is lacking so badly!!
i can't figure out how to get rid of that "/usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory" error, either.
i tried removing cygWin (manually) and then reinstalling the legacy version. that didn't help.
i tried to install cygwin with just the default packages (no ruby, etc) - but it didn't seem to work. is there a specific set of packages i need? i wish there was some good documentation for this!!!
Here lies my downfall in technology. I know very little about how Operating Systems "actually" work. If someone can help me get this working right, I'd be pretty happy![]()

I've installed this text editor on my windows machine called E Text Editor because it is essentially the next best thing to Textmate (only avail for mac) but on Windows. To get an idea of what TM (textmate) is like, you can watch one of my screencasts about DOM Hijacking where I'm using TM.
To get straight to the point, to get all the similar features of TM on Windows, you need a unix like environment which requires this thing called cygwin. And as far as I'm aware of, I followed these directions on how to install cygwin pretty closely without having know they were their the first time through. Since I didn't know which bundles I would want or even particularly need, I went ahead and installed them all (which felt like it took days to do).

After what I thought was all complete, I tried inserting a basic HTML open/close tag using ctrl + alt + , and I received this line of text inserted into the document:
Sure enough. "C:\cygwin\usr\bin\" is an empty folder - and I don't have a clue what to do. Any helpers?
