this line means it can't find the file sh.exe in the directory /bin

the quick fix is to type :-
sh ./configure
wait for the no file/directory message then type:-
sh ./config.status
which will finish configure off for you
a another longer lasting way is to create the directory c:\bin using windows
explorer then copy the file sh.exe located in the cygnus directory somewhere
to the c:\bin directory, then type:-
sh ./configure
and it should finish, hopefully, if I explained it right. :)
