According to nlian on 4/17/2008 9:58 PM:
| Hi,
|
| I have a bash script (e.g. test.sh), and I have the following  command
| inside the script:
|
| #!/usr/bin/bash
| export PROG_LIB="D:\batch\prod\prog\lib"

Non-portable use of back-slashes.  But more importantly, a non-POSIX path
inside a bash script.

| export PATH="$PROG_LIB:$PATH"

Running this script with 'bash -vx', or adding 'cmd /c echo %PATH%', may
prove instructive of what you are setting PATH to.  For starters, the
leading D followed by a path separator : means that you are searching the
relative directory D (and not anchoring a path in the d drive; for that
you need /cygdrive/d/).

| However when I execute from dos, I got an error:
|          functions.library: No such file or directory

Probably because your PATH wasn't set correctly.
