I don&#39;t know offhand, but I&#39;ll tell you how to find them.

The complex way is to open an SOPC Shell window and type "echo $PATH", then open a "normal" cygwin window and do the same thing. Compare the two path setups, then change your .bashrc to add the paths you need. (If you don&#39;t know bash, you should get the O&#39;Reilly book learning bash.)

The slightly simpler way is just to try to do things in your normal cygwin shell, and when it says it can&#39;t find a command, open an SOPC shell and type "type name_of_command" and it should tell you what the full path to the command is. Then just add that path to your .bashrc. This avoids picking up lots of paths you don&#39;t need.
