PATH=.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/c/Program Files/Subversion/bin _=/bin/env GNUCash@ELSHADAI /mingw $ usr/bin is not in path Over which part of the existing installation do I extract it?

There is no legitimate reason to ever be working there, unless you are in the process of updating *MinGW* components. > usr/bin is not in path No, but `/usr/bin' is, because MSYS makes `/usr' a loopback mount of `/', and `/bin' *is* in the PATH. > Over which part of the existing installation do I extract it? $ (cd /; tar xjf /path/to/m4-1.4.7-MSYS.tar.bz2) is what you want.
