  Unix/posix/linux shells don't usually include the current directory in the
path automatically, so being in /usr/bin doesn't make any difference; it
only depends whether /usr/bin or . is in your $PATH setting.  However, while
you are in /usr/bin, you can always execute commands by supplying the path
of the current directory as path of the command, e.g.

./who

./uname -a

etc, etc.

  Follow the instructions here:

  In particular this bit:

" Run cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out and include that file as an
attachment in your report. Please do not compress the output. Just attach it
as a straight text file so that it can be easily viewed. "


  In your case, since something's wrong, you may need to be in /usr/bin and
type

./cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out

    cheers,
