Mkdir is missing from MSYS

Why am I getting this in MSYS?

user @ lappy1 ~
$ mkdir test
sh: mkdir: command not found

Basic commands like cd and pwd work fine. What's wrong with mkdir?

it looks like yours is $PATH

not configured correctly, or your startup sequence is not working. what is the result echo $PATH

? there should be something like .:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin

at the beginning. mkdir

should be in /bin

, so if yours is /bin

in PATH

, it should work. if /bin

not mkdir

, check your installation. PATH

initialized from /etc/profile

- see if it contains something like export PATH=...

. /etc/profile

is read when bash is invoked as an input shell, so also check if bash is started with the --login

( -l

) option ( this usually comes from msys.bat

). last, cd

and pwd

are shell built-in commands, so they work in the shell regardless of any parameter PATH

.
